Gaula rescued kidnapped couple in the south of Cali

Members of the Unified Action Group for Personal Freedom (Gaula) rescued two people who were abducted in the Valle de Lili neighborhood, south of Cali. In the operation they captured six subjects who are allegedly responsible for this scourge against freedom.

In a statement, the Metropolitan Police of Cali said that, after hearing the case, the rescue was carried out in record time. The planning for the release of the couple would have been carried out in a period of two hours, through a search and search diligence in a residential complex they found the hostages inside a house.

The couple were found locked in a room, guarded by five men and one woman, who were seized with a traumatic gun, two suppliers, a thousand grams of marijuana, thirteen mobile devices and an agenda with information on payments, outstanding collections and possible hires that are now the subject of investigation.

The kidnapping took place on March 28, however, the authorities say they had known the case only until the 30th of that same month. El Gaula advanced this rescue in coordination with the Attorney General's Office.

The kidnappers were sent to jail, where they must answer for the crime of extortive kidnapping.
