The first operation carried out by units of the Infantry Battalion No.27 'Magdalena' of the Ninth Brigade, in coordination with CTI (Technical Investigations Corps), took place in the village Rivera in the municipality of Isnos, in the south of the department of Huila. There Felix Lorenzo Chincangana Muñoz was captured.
The 26-year-old man was wanted by a current arrest warrant for rape and Aggravated violation, so after his capture he was put into custody of the requesting authority.
In the village Panorama, in the municipality of La Plata, soldiers of the Infantry Battalion No. 26 'Cacique Pigoanza', in coordination with the Police of the department of Huila, find 6.5 kilograms of marijuana. The drug had been abandoned by members of the organized crime group 'Los Caqueteños', who, noticing the military pressure on the highway, would have been forced to abandon the package with the illicit substance.
A result that demonstrates the continuous operations against drug trafficking, a crime that hits public health and safety, hence the commitment of soldiers to face each of the links of this illicit business.

During the operation troops found 20 cartridges of different calibers, four cell phones with six batteries for them, five Sim Cards, four notebooks and military accessories such as caps, uniforms, ski masks and ponchos.
