At the request of prosecutors assigned to the Immediate Reaction Unit (URI), prison measures were issued by judges against three men who committed thefts in Cartagena.
One of the cases occurred on April 26 in Bocagrande neighborhood, in which Joshua Yasser Noguera Zambrano, 25, and Deivis Johan Barragán Marriaga, 43, apparently intimidated a person with a firearm to rob him a millionaire sum that had been withdrawn from a bank.
The community that realized what happened managed to arrest one of the defendants when he was running away with the money on a motorcycle and handed him over to the Police. The other person was arrested a few moments later inside a commercial establishment where he was hiding.
In another process, the Prosecutor’s Office prosecuted Yeison Pautt Beltrán, 28, who had stolen a man’s cell phone in the so-called Pie del Cerro neighborhood.
According to the investigation, the person allegedly threatened the victim if he did not hand over his cell phone. When he tried to escape, passers-by who were nearby helped the Police to arrest him in flagrante delicto.
A pistol, a 38 caliber cartridge and the allegedly stolen phone were found in his possession.
During the preliminary hearings, the Prosecutor’s Office charged them, according to their individual responsibilities, with aggravated robbery and manufacture, possession, or trafficking of a firearm. They did not plead guilty to the charges.
