Overview
- Police say they intercepted and detained two people who are suspected members of the gang called Los Cono Norte King after a coordinated operation in Lima.
- Authorities identified the suspects as Peruvian André David Serquén Lamadrid and Venezuelan Axel Alejandro Briceño Sidrán and are checking the Venezuelan's entry to Peru while reviewing the Peruvian's prior weapon arrest.
- Forensic work included an anthropological reconstruction of the attack on a Z Buss station and ballistic tests that link the gun seized from the suspects to shootings targeting Cavassa and Tec Bus.
- The detained suspects are accused of firing on a Z Buss vehicle that left a company worker wounded and of taking part in a string of earlier threats against Z Buss, including shots at a station, a thrown rock with a threat, and a failed grenade attack.
- Police say the suspects demanded S/50,000 as an extortion 'matrícula' from company owners and investigators warn the case could reveal broader extortion and violence patterns affecting Lima Norte transport operators.
