Attack in Trujillo: four dead and one missing following ambush with fake police officers
Google News PE — Crime reports that an attack recorded in Trujillo left a toll of four dead and one person missing. According to available information, the attackers allegedly posed as agents of the National Police to approach their victims without raising suspicion.
The method employed—impersonating police officers—is a tactic that seeks to neutralise the victims' reaction before carrying out the attack. The exact circumstances of the incident and the identity of the deceased have not been clarified in the information released so far.
Authorities are investigating the whereabouts of the missing person and working to identify those responsible for the attack. Trujillo, capital of the La Libertad region, has registered in recent periods an escalation of violent episodes linked to criminal organisations operating in the northern part of the country.
