Six alleged members of the criminal gang Los Bendecidos del Terror were arrested by the National Police of Peru (PNP) during an operation in Huaycán. Authorities reported that one of the detainees is linked to an armed attack that left second sub-official Edgar Galván Bastidas injured on March 30, while he was trying to prevent a robbery in the R area.
The detainees, identified as J.T.H. (alias ‘Wini’), A.M.A. (alias ‘Vito’), J.L. (alias ‘Nero’), S.P.M. (alias ‘Pelado’), Y.R.A. (alias ‘Marin’), and W.D.C.B.
