Violent gang members linked to the international crime syndicate Tren de Aragua were swept up by Peruvian law enforcement during a human trafficking sting in northern Lima this past weekend.
Behind the scenes, Aerial Recovery, a U.S. nonprofit organization mobilizing military veterans, was helping empower the teams and ensure the victims received necessary care and treatment.
The Peru National Police, public prosecutor’s office, and other organs of government and law enforcement conducted raids from late Saturday night into Sunday morning, arresting 10 alleged operatives of La Guerrilla Pobre — a gang operating as a faction of Tren de Aragua.
The Northern Lima District Attorney’s Office announced the strike against the gang via social media, reporting eight victims rescued from illicit crime dens operating clandestinely in public-facing businesses throughout Independencia, San Martin de Porres, and Los Olivos.
Hundreds of police officers were deployed to over 20 locations in a series of sweeping raids in northern Lima over the weekend, cracking down on individuals linked to La Guerrilla Pobre, an affiliate organization of Tren de Aragua.
