Three women and a man, who make up a cell of the Tren del Llano criminal organization, were captured in a sector of Valle de la Pascua (Guárico), according to military sources.
This group was denouncing several victims before the National Anti-extortion and Kidnapping Command (Conas) of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB), because they called their cell phones demanding large sums in dollars in exchange for not attempting on their lives.
The detainees are: Yerson Saúl Ramírez (El Dj), Dionelis Irelis González Higuera (La Catira), Valeria Martínez (Vale) and Maglis Rosalía Perdomo Bandrés (La Prima).
A Bera BR-150 motorcycle and four telephone sets were seized from this group.
The Pepon
Another procedure against the Tren del Llano was carried out by the GNB in Guárico, but this time in the El Terminal sector, Pedro Zaraza municipality. In that place, an ally of the aforementioned criminal organization.
The victim is identified as Juan Likardo Carmelo Navas, a member of the criminal group founded by Yohanny Machuca (El Pepón), listed as a cell of the Tren del Llano, according to Detachment 343 of the GNB.
The subject confronted the military with a .38 caliber revolver, without a visible mark or serial number, which was seized by the aforementioned military agents.
The El Pepón cell is specialized in stripping victims of vehicles and then asking for sums in dollars in exchange for returning them, according to the investigations.
The Tren del Llano installed a cell in rural areas of the Pedro Zaraza municipality in mid-March, with the purpose of causing the displacement of agro-producers, according to investigations. The subjects want to have control of these roads to create a safe route for the trafficking of drug caches. That is why they corner the residents of those sectors with vaccine charges, according to military reports.
