During this Friday’s day there was a foiled assault on Mosso jewelry at the Alto Las Condes mall. After what happened, hundreds of people were evacuated from the site. As Carabineros General Jean Camus indicated, the thwarted robbery was perpetrated by at least ten subjects at Mosso jewelry. “Ten antisocials attempt to break the armored glass, at which point they are intercepted by Investigation Police (POI) personnel inside the mall (…) they go on the run,” he said, alluding to the three detectives who were doing other on-site errands related to a previously occurring event. So far there are two detainees, as reported by undersecretary of crime prevention, Katherine Martorell, information that was ratified by prosecutor Omar Mérida. A POI official was also shot in the head and transferred to the FACh hospital where he is at life risk. Camus also indicated that the interior of the compound continues to be searched to rule out other criminals remaining hidden inside. “We are in search and search inside the mall. All the places are being searched,” carabinieri added, specifying that there was finally no theft. He also reported on the recovery of a vehicle in the North Coast sector, as he also stated that another operation was being carried out in the commune of Recoleta.For his part, the prosecutor Mérida, indicated that it would be a robbery with intimidation.” It would be eleven or twelve people who enter with their faces covered, some with overoles of different colors that enter the second floor of the mall and in place with the use of tools of different kinds try to violate the protections of Mosso jewelry and at that time is warned by police personnel the action of criminals and there is a confrontation with firearms.” The robbery can’t be consummated. Right now there are a number of ballistic experts. There’s only one injured detective on the POI side,” he added. Asked about one of the assailants with injuries, the persecutor indicated that “there was a confrontation, it is likely but we do not know.”
