Three men were arrested for their alleged participation in collecting vaccines from agricultural producers in Guárico, according to military sources.
The arrests were carried out by agents attached to the Rural Command Detachment 34-2 of the Bolivarian National Guard.
The trio was captured in Las Mayitas, Pedro Zaraza municipality, Guárico.
The subjects are part of a cell of the Tren del Llano organization that settled in Zaraza under the command of Carlos Pirela Armas (Carlitos Pirela).
They have sent videos to agroproducers in the area demanding high sums in dollars to let them work, according to investigations.
In that case, the detainees are: Roberto Alejandro Díaz Fajardo, Ronaldo José Díaz Fajardo and Duván Carlos Fajardo Pinto.
During the procedure, the military seized two 16-gauge shotguns (New England and Winchester), a Maverick 16-gauge shotgun, a motorcycle without plates and three caps with logos of the National Anti-Extortion and Kidnapping Command and the Bolivarian National Police.
The logistics.
With the Fajardo cousins, there are six detainees on suspicion of being part of the Tren del Llano cell.
Three days ago, the Cicpc reported the arrest of José Rafael González Acosta, Freinny Annily Mota Zapata and Nanci Coromoto Flores, who presumably form part of the logistics staff that watches over the victims of extortion, collects and receives the money demanded, according to what was reported.
González, Mota and Flores were captured in El Dragal, San José de Unare, in the aforementioned Guariqueño municipality.
Parallel to the criminal action of the Tren del Llano, there is another organization that disputes the payment of vaccines. This is the El Pepón gang, founded by Johany Machuca, who has not yet been captured.
Both organizations held an armed confrontation last March in Los Guatacaros, a rural sector located between Zaraza and Santa María de Ipire, Guárico.
