The detainees, aged between 17 and 19, are suspected of crimes of aggravated robbery and the use of bladed weapons. The PSP found the suspects after being warned by the victims and found seven suspects. One of them is a minor. After being searched, several bladed weapons were found in his possession: three medium-sized agricultural scythes, a military-style dagger with carrying sling and a kitchen knife.
After spending a night in detention and judicial interrogation, the coercive measure of periodic presentations to the authorities was applied to them. The minor suspect was handed over to the person responsible for his guardianship and reported to the Commission for the Protection of Children and Young People (CPCJ), and the facts were reported to the Family and Minors Court.
