Ecuadorian judicial authorities have issued sentences for various criminal activities, including drug trafficking and robbery.

In Jipijapa, a man identified as Juan S. received a 19-year prison sentence for illicit drug trafficking. This followed a police raid on a residence in the Alberto Heredia neighborhood, where authorities seized 190 grams of cocaine base, 3 grams of heroin, and cash.

In a separate case in Riobamba, four individuals—Neilwill Cristopher B. M., Ángel Luis M. S., Ángel José C. P., and Frank Reinaldo R. R.—were sentenced to nine years and four months for robbery. The conviction stemmed from the armed robbery of a gas delivery driver, during which the victim was tied up and a truck carrying 50 gas cylinders was stolen.
