The event occurred around 7:45 in the morning this Thursday, when a security guard from a jewelry store in the Sauces 9 sector was surprised at his business premises by individuals who had packed a cardboard box and other items on his body.
Preliminary reports say that it was a group of vaccinators who extort the merchants in that area and that they would have acted against the security guard for non-compliance with the quota that they were demanding.

Videos shared on social networks show the man walking puzzled and the voice of a witness is heard saying that the explosives could detonate at any moment.
