Through a message published in his X account, the senior military officer assured that four motorcycles were seized in the aforementioned space; six 70-liter plastic containers for fuel storage; a 220-liter plastic container for fuel storage; three carpets for collecting gold material; a gas cylinder; two motorcycle wheels; a freezer; two digital television devices (Directv); four 13-hp motorcycle pumps; two hydrojets; 10 4-inch PVC tubes; 30 meters of high-pressure hose; a battery charger; two point-to-point radios with their charger; 150 kilograms of food items.
