Armed Intruders Steal S/30,000 From Agua Marina Member’s Home in Sechura

Investigators are reviewing security footage to test suspicions of insider knowledge.

Overview

  • Three masked assailants forced their way in around 3 a.m. by breaking the front-door lock at the Sechura residence of band member Luis Quiroga Querevalú.
  • A mother and her daughter were threatened at gunpoint, the mother was assaulted, and they were compelled to hand over S/30,000 kept in the house.
  • Local reports say the cash may have come from a recent Agua Marina performance, a detail authorities have not independently confirmed.
  • Security cameras recorded the suspects fleeing first in a trimóvil and then in a pickup, and police with criminalistics units collected potential fingerprints and launched search operations with no arrests reported.
  • Separately, Agua Marina announced a gala concert in Lima for October 11 at Plaza Norte following founder Teófilo Quiroga’s death, with tickets available via Ticketmaster.
