Overview
- Captain Randall Jhonattan Quispe Cárdenas, the Chao station chief in Virú, was rotated out of his post after a video circulated on social media.
- He was assigned to duties in Trujillo while inquiries proceed, according to regional police chief General Guillermo Llerena.
- The footage shows him asleep with a Venezuelan woman reported to be the sister of Andrés Gabriel Villarroel Ruiz, who was detained on October 24 on a common-crime charge and later released.
- The case was referred to the PNP Inspectoría for an internal investigation to determine possible disciplinary measures.
- Llerena urged respect for due process and said the force will not shield those who “cross the line,” as the images—allegedly shared by the woman—prompted public indignation.
