General Danilo Vera Carbajal, head of the Junín Police Region, reported that the assailants released gas inside the ATM and detonated it using a spark. To facilitate their escape, they placed metal spikes on the track, in order to burst the tires of the patrol cars and prevent pursuit.
Security cameras captured those involved, who arrived aboard a lead vehicle and were wearing white overalls while manipulating implements for the explosion.
