Overview
- The Fe y Alegría N.° 10 school in Collique, Comas moved all classes to virtual learning after its direction received an extortion letter that included names of teachers, support staff and relatives.
- School leaders filed a formal complaint and officers from the Policía Nacional del Perú, local serenazgo and UGEL representatives conducted on-site diligences while authorities work to trace the message’s origin.
- Officials have not publicly identified any suspects or confirmed links to known criminal groups, and the PNP continues forensic checks and verification of the information contained in the note.
- Parents and teachers demanded increased security at school entry points and nearby streets, and authorities said police and serenazgo presence will be reinforced before any decision to return to face-to-face classes.
- The case echoes previous threats reported in Lima Norte against other schools and has renewed calls for coordinated protocols from UGEL and the Ministry of Education to assess safety before reopening campuses.
