Durante varios d\u00edas, un comerciante de 48 a\u00f1os en Santa Rosa vivi\u00f3 bajo constante presi\u00f3n. Su celular se convirti\u00f3 en el principal canal de amenazas: llamadas y mensajes insistentes que, desde el 9 de abril, le exig\u00edan dinero a cambio de su seguridad y la de su familia. Sin embargo, el acoso no se limit\u00f3 a lo virtual.<\/p>\n
La situaci\u00f3n escal\u00f3 cuando desconocidos realizaron disparos en los exteriores de su local, en un aparente intento de intimidaci\u00f3n directa para forzarlo a cumplir con la exigencia econ\u00f3mica, que ascend\u00eda a 10.000 d\u00f3lares. El hecho marc\u00f3 un punto cr\u00edtico que lo llev\u00f3 a denunciar el caso ante la Unidad Nacional Antisecuestros y Extorsi\u00f3n (UNASE).<\/p>\n
A partir de esa alerta, la Polic\u00eda despleg\u00f3 un operativo que permiti\u00f3 avanzar en la identificaci\u00f3n de los presuntos implicados. La intervenci\u00f3n se llev\u00f3 a cabo la tarde del jueves 16 de abril, en Santa Rosa, donde fueron aprehendidos Byron Joel T. C., de 23 a\u00f1os, y Elvis Leodan R. L., de 31.<\/p>\n
De acuerdo con informaci\u00f3n policial, los detenidos estar\u00edan vinculados a una organizaci\u00f3n que operar\u00eda entre Santa Rosa y Machala, dedicada a extorsionar a comerciantes mediante amenazas y actos violentos. Uno de ellos registra antecedentes relacionados con tr\u00e1fico de drogas, lo que forma parte del perfil investigativo.<\/p>\n
Ambos quedaron a disposici\u00f3n de la autoridad competente, mientras contin\u00faan las diligencias para determinar la posible existencia de m\u00e1s integrantes y esclarecer si hay otros casos asociados a este mismo esquema delictivo en la zona.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
