Members of the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) learned, in flagrante delicto, 3 Colombian citizens while illegally extracting grit and sand on the banks of the Táchira River, as reported by the strategic operational commander of the FANB, G/J Domingo Hernández Lárez.

Through a message published on his X account, he explained that the detainees were dedicated to extracting strategic material and were illegally taking it to Colombia.

In addition, he indicated that during this action, the uniformed personnel seized a backhoe and a dump truck used for these illegal tasks.

“Venezuela is a democratic State of law and justice in which no subject may associate to commit crimes and violate the laws of the Republic. The security and protection zones are under a security and environmental protection regime. Respecting the environment is a duty and a citizen's right enshrined in the CRBV,” said Hernández Lárez.
