Overview
- Prosecutors in Lambayeque opened a preliminary case after a failed robbery at a Caja Piura branch, where suspect Julio Alejandro Antón Navarro died from a self-inflicted gunshot and Wilson Martínez Compa was detained.
- Caja Piura said police action prevented injuries to staff or clients and the branch remains closed for Ministerio Público procedures while remaining suspects are sought.
- About 32 assailants dressed as police stormed the Raíces de Ñausacocha camp in Pasco, stole roughly 25 tonnes of auriferous mineral, and injured five officers, prompting helicopter-backed searches and the detention of a truck driver.
- Relatives of subofficer Abel Atayauri Chávez, wounded in the Pasco confrontation, urged his immediate air transfer to Lima for surgery, alleging delays in authorizations for specialized care.
- The PNP reported separate actions and incidents, including six Colombians detained in Chorrillos linked to ‘gota a gota’ extortion after a bus attack, a Piura Derrama Magisterial robbery by fake workers with a 17-year-old suspect captured, and a ‘marcas’ theft of about US$80,000 in Trujillo along with a retaliatory shooting tied to extortion in SJL.
