The incident occurred when four or five, men tried to carry out the robbery and two security agents from the institution confronted them.

The other suspect sought medical attention at Susana Jones Hospital, apparently to avoid connection to the attempted robbery. He was detained at the medical center and remains in police custody.

The commissioner of the National Police, Jorge Domínguez, said there are six fully identified people involved in the case. “There could be more,” Domínguez added, indicating that in the next few hours, raids will be carried out in other areas of the city, as part of the investigations,

Domínguez also specified that at least two vehicles that were allegedly used in this robbery attempt, reported at around 12:30 pm this Sunday, have been recovered.
