Police raid in Soledad and other public‑order incidents across Latin America
Video footage showed members of the Guardia Civil Municipal de Soledad entering a home in the La Virgen neighbourhood with long firearms, forcibly removing a man whose family warned officers that he suffered a heart condition. The raid also featured a woman confronting an officer after a bank was thrown to stop recording.
In Colombia, the body of 19‑year‑old Andrés Felipe Cueto Vaca was discovered dismembered in four sacks beside a road near Puerto Colombia, Atlántico. Investigators noted multiple cuts and are examining a possible link to the murder of his brother, Kevin Yecid Cueto Vaca, earlier in the year.
Chile’s Ministry of Public Works intensified maintenance on Route 15‑CH, focusing on the kilometre‑3 to 5 segment and adjacent access roads ahead of the San Lorenzo Festival. Four crews are carrying out pothole repairs, demarcation, signage installation and surface cleaning, with a plan to monitor the route during the event.
In Medellín, authorities announced a series of road closures from 31 July to 10 August for the Feria de las Flores. Key arteries such as Avenida Colombia, Avenida Regional and the Avenida del Ferrocarril will be restricted, and motorists are urged to use alternate routes to avoid congestion.
