Crime and violence in Potosí, Bolivia
Overview
In the Potosí department of Bolivia, recent incidents have highlighted issues of community violence and homicide.

Officers and prosecutors managed to secure the release of the minors through mediation.
Later, on October 20, authorities in Llallagua reported the arrest of a 24-year-old man, Carlos YM, in connection with the double homicide of two minors.
