On 2 August 2026, Chilean police (Carabineros) carried out a preventive raid in Nacimiento, seizing cannabis, a homemade firearm and arresting a repeat drug‑trafficking suspect, while a separate patrol in Viña del Mar detained a minor with a replica gun. The following day, 3 August 2026, police in Santiago stopped a Venezuelan driver attempting to evade a checkpoint and arrested him for illegal passenger transport, and Colombian traffic agents immobilised a driver for multiple lane and signal violations in Medellín. Also on 3 August, Colombia’s President‑elect Abelardo De la Espriella presented an urban security strategy at a summit in Barranquilla, receiving backing from mayors of the country’s largest cities. At the inaugural Security Summit in Barranquilla, mayors of Barranquilla, Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Cartagena, Cúcuta, Ibagué and Soacha formally endorsed the plan, which calls for specialized security blocks staffed by dedicated police units, close coordination among the ministries of Defense, Interior and Justice, the Fiscalía and the National Police, and presidential leadership to curb extortion, theft and homicides. Together, these reports illustrate active law‑enforcement operations in Chile and a parallel push for coordinated security policy reforms in Colombia. No further related incidents have been reported as of the latest update.
