The events took place in the village of San Pedro, municipality of Puerto Rico, department of Meta, when soldiers of the Rapid Deployment Force Nº 11 began the maneuver to carry out the military operation. Noticing the activity of the troops, members of this group fled in vehicles firing at the members of the Military Forces, so there the combat started.
A member of the support network of the Marco Aurelio Buendía structure, of the Jorge Suárez Briceño Bloc, was arrested at the scene. He was guarding the hiding place where 38 sealed packages were found by troops, which tested positive as cocaine hydrochloride, according to the test carried out by the National Police.
