“A lot of information that we handle – with national and international sources – tells us that these centers were involved in the plan in order to do rioting, to fill the country with violence with special operations that they were going to make so that all those weapons reached crime and with criminal groups well-paid, with dollars,” he stressed.
Precisely, the Venezuelan president indicated that the “army of long weapons for rioting” would be found within the penitentiary centers intervened with the Operation Gran Cacique Guaicaipuro, which this Monday was deployed at the José Antonio Anzoátegui Judicial Confinement Center, located in Barcelona (Anzoategui State), and which led to the transfer of 1,511 prisoners to other prisons temporarily:
“If we add all the long weapons we have obtained, we exceed 600 long weapons. An army of long weapons in order to do rioting,” he pointed out.
In reference to the scope of Operation Gran Cacique Guaicaipuro, he stressed that “it is advancing with total success” in its mission “to gain more and more spaces of security and to combat sources infected of violence.”
“Once Tocorón was liberated, Tocorón is over; once Tocuyito was liberated, Tocuyito is over, and today Puente Ayala (was) liberated in record time, Puente Ayala is over. Total success of Operation Gran Cacique Guaicaipuro to guarantee more and more spaces of security and tranquility for the people; and to combat (those) sources infected of violence, of crimes,” he stated, while reiterating that “we will continue to advance to establish security and protection.”

In the last two, security officials seized war material (long weapons, ammunition and explosive devices).
