PNP Seizes Dynamite, Detains Three in Twin Anti-Extortion Raids in San Juan de Lurigancho

Police cite intelligence work aimed at dismantling networks that extort local businesses.

Overview

  • Richard Garay Palacios, 32, was detained inside a pollería in Huáscar with cartridges of dynamite and ammunition, prompting UDEX to secure the explosive evidence.
  • Authorities said he was released from prison in March after serving more than nine years, and investigators are examining a presumed link to the group Los Incorregibles del Cono.
  • The División de Robos acted on merchants’ complaints to carry out the intervention, after which the suspect was transferred to Dirincri on Avenida España.
  • In a separate operation, officers caught two alleged transport extortionists in flagrancia as they received 100 soles, seizing two phones and a list of phone numbers.
  • The PNP said the pair are suspected members of Los Intocables de Bayóvar N. G., with cases moving forward at Depincri Lima Este and Dirincri as Mininter reports roughly 75 extortion complaints daily nationwide.
