Police detained three people at a house on Jirón Riobamba in the Lima district of San Martín de Porres.[1] The detainees were Enrique Cabrera Quichis, known as Nano, aged 27, Jonathan Flores Huaraca, known as Verde, aged 26, and a 17-year-old girl.[1] General Isaac Candia, head of the Callao police region, confirmed the names of the detainees.[1] Preliminary reports said the girl was not in the house by chance but was allegedly involved in the group’s logistics and in contacts with buyers through online apps and platforms.[1] Officers of the Playa Rímac police station carried out the intervention with intelligence agents of the Callao region.[1] The raid followed the street detention of Cabrera with 4 kilograms of marijuana hidden in a bag after he left his house with the drug.[2] Police said Cabrera had a prior record for unlawful drug trafficking in 2021.[2]

Officers seized 120 kilograms of marijuana in the house.[1] Agents found large marijuana packages hidden in different rooms of the property.[1] According to the police report, the drug was carefully packed and ready for distribution.[1] Police put the load’s value on the illicit market at more than 300,000 soles, a figure the newspaper also reported as approximately that amount.[1] Investigators said the group allegedly used digital channels to offer the drug, and La República reported it was to be sold to different points of the capital.[1]

The Public Ministry and the family prosecutor’s office were to assess the girl’s legal situation, including whether an aggravating factor applied for her use by a criminal organisation.[1] The detainees were taken to the Playa Rímac police station for legal proceedings.[2] The case went to the Public Ministry, which was to evaluate the evidence from the house and the phones and computers seized from the detainees.[1]
