According to pulzo.com, a man who had been granted house arrest was recaptured in the Puente Aranda locality in Bogotá following his alleged participation in the theft of a vehicle. The apprehension took place during police surveillance operations and with direct support from the community, which helped a patrol locate the stolen vehicle and identify one of the suspected perpetrators.
