Security agencies detained a soldier for his alleged connection with the launching of three tear gas bombs at the El Gran Motatán Supermarket, located in the Trujillo town of the same name.
They presume that Third Sergeant Major José Atilio Rosales Ojeda had an argument with one of the workers of the aforementioned establishment and in response to this he launched three tear gas canisters inside the premises.
The explosion of the devices occurred at a time of medium concentration of users inside the supermarket, who abandoned their purchases and ran towards the boulevard where the business is located, as seen in a video.
Agents from Detachment 231 of the Bolivarian National Guard (GNB) went to the site and detained Rosales Ojeda.
