translated from Spanish: Minister Delgado for incident of Bolivian military in Colchane: “It seems serious to us (…) fired war weapons.”

Interior Minister Rodrigo Delgado described as “serious” the incident in which three Bolivian soldiers participated in the commune of Colchane. The uniformed men were arrested by Carabineros and identified as possible perpetrators of the crimes of robbery with intimidation and the carried of firearms.
“We think it is serious that at least three bolivian Army officials advance 15 kilometers, we are not talking about 100 meters or 200 meters, to Pisiga Choque, where the police, in this case Carabineros were alerted to some thefts of cars, trucks, apparently associated with these people,” said the Secretary of State.
“It is serious because of the number of kilometers that these people enter, it is also serious because they shoot with their weapons of war. And of course in that context, what one would want from them is the same collaboration that we have,” Delgado added.
In that line, he commented that “if we do not collaborate and more on top of that we have troops, apparently military, collaborating with gangs or themselves generating damages affect national security.”
“We know that it is a very porous border, we know that there is contraband, that there is drug trafficking that enters through the northern border, specifically through that place,” the interior minister added.
He also relieved the actions of the Carabineros personnel. “The borders are being protected by our police and our army, otherwise they wouldn’t have arrived in the record time they arrived,” he said.
On the fact, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will issue statements in a few hours. Meanwhile, the detainees will be placed under detention control.
