Overview
- Kenko’s, which was targeted Saturday, saw a hooded man pour fuel and ignite a fire inside the La Perla bakery while people were present, and an explosive later detonated at the door with no injuries reported.
- The owners say extortionists had demanded S/30,000 before the attacks, according to the family’s lawyer.
- Police are reviewing security camera footage and attribute the case to the gang known as Los Baturris, with no arrests reported so far.
- The owners paused service for at least a week to weigh security steps after staff resigned out of fear, leaving family members to cover the shop until the shutdown.
- The closure deepens the family’s strain because of outstanding loans, and a separate Tuesday shooting outside an internet cafe in Callao underscores wider street violence under investigation.
