FILE PHOTO. In the bunkers of the Prosecutor’s Office in Medellín there is a great problem of overcrowding.

At least 10 people trying to escape were recaptured there.

The bunker of the Prosecutor’s Office in Medellín, considered one of the safest places, was the epicenter of a massive escape of detainees at dawn on Saturday, for which the authorities continue in search of the three people who managed to escape.

At least 10 more people were recaptured at the site, in addition to a 30-year-old man who apparently helped those deprived of liberty with their escape plan, as confirmed by the Valle de Aburrá Metropolitan Police.

José Galindo, operational commander of the Metropolitan Police, reported that people have been identified through cameras and progress is being made in the investigations.

“A person was captured who was allegedly helping the escape. At this time this is a matter of investigation, they were left at the disposal of the Attorney General’s Office and are close to the hearing of the same. It is being verified because there are some bars and a series of elements, of evidence that we have at this time, which are the subject of investigation,” Galindo said.

The crimes for which these people were requested are theft and one of them for bribery.

It should be remembered that the bunker of the Prosecutor’s Office, as well as the city’s Police stations have had historical problems of overcrowding, which is why occupation versus capacity is usually exceeded in large proportions.

In Cali authorities ask to report fiber optic theft in the streets - Cali - Colombia

In the Technological Resources Company of Cali (ERT) made a call to the people of Valle del Cauca to denounce the theft of fiber optics from the telecommunications network, which has left millions in losses and affected its users.

In this entity they ask that the population communicate to the lines: 018000520620 or 6202020.

According to what was stated by Edwin López Bouza, manager of ERT, the losses generated by the theft of the optical fiber are affecting the resources that have been established for the expansion of the service, but not for the replacement.

“In 2021 we had thefts that exceeded 600 million pesos. It is more or less 5 percent of the income we have from the internet service. It is a considerable value because they are resources that are not used for expansion but to replace something that was already done,” said López Bouza.

Likewise, he mentioned that last year there were cases in Cartago, Pradera, Buga and in the district of Amaime, in Palmira, causing an affectation for users due to the interruption of the service.

“With these cuts, a perfectly five or six hours without service. ATMs, stores and even a virtual job interview can be canceled as a result of this. It’s not just the economic cost,” she indicated.

(Also: How would the seats for the House of Representatives for the Valley look?)

ERT operators expect the community to join and make complaints to the established telephone lines. Likewise, it can be done through the Police hotline 123; This is for cases in which it is necessary to notify about the presence of people without ERT identification who manipulate the company’s infrastructure.

“From the government of Clara Luz Roldán we make every effort to make technological resources available to the community, we do hard work with the police and Caleños. For this reason, we want to invite you to help report any news”, added the manager.

But, ERT users are not the only ones affected by fiber optic theft. Those of the Municipal Companies of Cali (Emcali) join these complaints.

“Our fiber optic cabling was stolen in the north of Cali. That left us without television, landline and internet service for about three months,” said a resident of a building on North 34th Street with 2BIS, in the San Vicente neighborhood of the Valle del Cauca capital.
