The Office of the Attorney General prosecuted five alleged members of the criminal group known as the XTZ, who allegedly stole high-performance motorcycles in Florencia, Albania, San José del Fragua, Belén de Los Andaquíes, Modelia, and La Montañita (Caquetá). 

A prosecutor appointed to the branch office in Caquetá (Seccional Caquetá) charged them with criminal conspiracy to commit a crime, qualified theft, and the use of minors in the commission of crimes. None of the defendants pleaded guilty to the charges. 

According to the investigation, the facts occurred between November 2024 and June 2025 when it was learned about the existence of a group formed of at least nine people, who had established roles and were intended to remain active over time. They apparently conspired to commit thefts of high-performance motorcycles, which would later be sold in Cartagena del Chairá and La Unión Peneya in La Montañita (Caquetá). 

The defendants are linked to 11 criminal acts, in which most of the victims were women, some of them minors, whose vehicles were ‘pulled away’. In one of the cases, force was used. 

The people involved are Mauricio Quintero López, the ringleader of the group; Andrés Sierra Ramírez; Andrés Felipe Ramos Gómez; and José Ricardo Oviedo Godoy, who were allegedly in charge of the thefts by violating security systems and intimidating people to rob their property. These people were sent to prison. 

 Yina Marcela Cabrera Osorio was placed under house arrest. She apparently worked as ‘campanera’ (acting as a lookout) and concealed the motorcycles at her residence. 

 Officers from the Technical Investigation Corps, with support from the National Police, carried out the arrests during five home searches in Florencia, La Montañita (Caquetá), and Garzón (Huila).

By the time this communication is disclosed, the legal status of the people mentioned is still pending to be resolved by the competent judicial authority, always under the presumption of innocence contemplated by Article 29 of the Political Constitution and Article 7 of Law 906 of 2004.
