In San Cristobal an angry mob was calling for the heads of three policemen involved in a gang that routinely robbed motor-taxi drivers and truck drivers along the 6 November Highway. The four have been arraigned and will face charges. They have been dishonorably dismissed from the National Police. The three being held at the police station (the fourth is in hospital, after being wounded in the attack that led to the arrests) were taken before judge Ambiorix Marichal who sent them to three months preventive custody. The policemen were identified by at least 10 of their victims. Corporals Wilfredo German and Ramon Ferbillet were sent to Najayo and Private Rafael Luna had to post bail. Corporal Elvin Maldonado, who was wounded by shotgun pellets, will be processed when he is released from the hospital. The policemen were arrested after they showed up at the premises of an avocado export business on the 6 November Highway, faking a problem with their motorcycle. When watchman Francisco Matos, 54, went to their assistance, they shot him, but Matos, who was lying on the ground wounded, managed to shoot one of his attackers.
