This Wednesday, security units foiled a million-dollar film heist at Santiago de Chile International Airport following a runway and takeoff shooting that killed two people, the alleged thief and an employee of Chile’s General Directorate of Civil Aviation (DGAC). responsible for the security of the hull.

According to the director of the aforementioned institution, General Raul Horkera, a group of about twelve men, heavily armed and professionally trained, “managed to cross the first line, but not the second, which is decisive” under a well-defined plan by which they intended to appropriate more than 32 million dollars.

The perpetrators infiltrated the perimeter of the slopes after attacking one of the gates in vehicles and tied up a security guard who was on site, who nonetheless “managed to leave to notify the second checkpoint that confronted the perpetrators that they had been identified and firepower to carry out the robbery .

“They managed to cross the first line, but not the second, which is decisive (…) That’s where they entered, but there was also an alarm,” said Horkera, who denied there were security breaches that make the airport unsafe. but acknowledged that “we should review the procedures, of course yes, and this is self-criticism”.

Despite the warning, the thieves managed to get close to the plane from Miami, which arrived with a million dollar money order, after which shooting began, in which one of the alleged attackers and firefighter Claudio Villar Rodriguez, who participated in the armed confrontation, died. . . .

Looking for more prey

“I want to show solidarity and give a big hug to the family of the DGAC official,” said the President ChileGabriel Borich, speaking at a Women’s Day memorial event.

“We know that insecurity is a priority for Chilean men and women. When uncertainty arises, everything else fluctuates,” he added.

When escaping, the criminals left several burned-out cars on the highway connecting the airport with Santiago de Chile.

“I want you to know that our government will relentlessly, fairly and with all the force of the law, prosecute crime and those who endanger the lives of our compatriots,” Boric concluded.

Had this not been prevented, it would have been the biggest robbery in history. Chile, far exceeding the one that managed to steal $7.9 million in 2014 and the one that embezzled another $21 million in 2017, both in the same air terminal. (As reported by EFE)
