The National Police captured David I. R. M., aged 21, alias "Chulo Rugal", identified as the most wanted person in the province of Esmeraldas, according to eluniverso.com. The operation was carried out in the El Coral neighbourhood, in the southern sector of the city.
The arrest was conducted by the National Police Search Block, with tactical support from the Special Operations Group (GOE) of Esmeraldas. Agents raided a property where they located the person wanted by the courts.
David R. M. faced active arrest warrants for the crimes of murder and extortive kidnapping. The investigations would also allegedly link him to the organised crime group Los Tiguerones, along with investigations into extortion, robbery and offences associated with drug and firearms trafficking.
The apprehension was made following a police pursuit that began when the suspects allegedly attempted to evade the presence of uniformed officers. During the procedure, three people were detained, including a woman, and a pistol-type firearm was seized.
The three detainees were placed at the disposal of the competent authorities to continue with the corresponding judicial process.
