Military personnel from the National Anti-Extortion and Kidnapping Command (Conas) arrested a member of the criminal group known as Tren de Aragua, who is among the kidnappers of 56-year-old merchant Antonio José “Jóvito” Gómez Macedo.
The Últimas Noticias website reviews that the procedure was carried out on a section of the Puerto Cabello-Valencia highway (Carabobo). There they detained the subject they identified as Delvis Rafael Parra Ybarra, who was driving a Toyota Corolla, license plate AA436UE. When carrying out the inspection of the car, the soldiers located a Glock 9 mm pistol and one hundred 7.62×51 caliber cartridges that fit into rifles.
They also found two telephone sets, a green balaclava, two bulletproof vests, a Naguanagua Municipal Police card and military clothing.
As a result of the detainee’s initial statements, the Conas identified several leaders of the Aragua Train, known by the nicknames “el Santanita”, “el Coty”, “Patón”, “Gallito”, “Yorleny Mavares”, “Alejo ”, “Capitán”, “la Fresa”, “Orlandito”, “el Manco” and “Junior El Enano”.
Conas points to them as intellectual and material authors of the kidnapping of Gómez Macedo, who was forcibly removed from his business located in Puerto Cabello on September 3. The kidnappers wore clothes similar to those used by police forces.
Gómez Macedo was released in Tucacas (Falcón) last Tuesday, due to pressure from security agencies around the area where the kidnappers were holding the merchant, the director of the Bolivarian National Police, Elio Estrada, explained at the time.
