Active and Retired PNP Officers Arrested in Sullana Over Alleged Threats and Gunfire

Authorities are probing how guns registered to other police units ended up in the suspects' possession.

Overview

  • Police identified the detainees as Jaime Giulio García Saldaña, 27, and Anderson Antonio Reinoso Zevallos, 29, one retired and one active subofficer.
  • The pair allegedly entered a Bellavista property, threatened the owner at gunpoint, and fired shots in front of the house, according to the complaint.
  • Officers arrested García near the Boquerón Núñez drainage works after he discarded a .38 revolver with an empty magazine.
  • Colleagues disabled a fleeing white minivan with plate M5Y116 driven by Reinoso, then seized a firearm loaded with 13 rounds from the vehicle.
  • Investigators say the seized weapons are registered to other PNP units (Depincri Piura and Comisaría El Alto), and the Unidad de Flagrancia and a prosecutor are leading the case.
