Criminals are packing heavier weaponry
By Rommel Téllez
of the A.M. Costa Rica staff

Organized crime is getting heavier weaponry at a rate the security forces cannot keep up with, according to Juan José Andrade, director of Fuerza Pública.

“This is a concern we have been talking about for a while, because criminal groups are getting heavier guns and that's a huge threat to both police officers and civilians.” he said.

Andrade explained that cops can only carry small weapons because they need to comply with the Armas y Explosivos law, which regulates what the officers may or may not carry.

“This phenomena is the reason why our police forces are the ones in Central America that always wear a bulletproof vest. We might need to discuss the law and foresee changes in the short term,” said Andrade.

His comments come after the latest police raid against heavily armed groups on Wednesday night, where police officers arrested several individuals in front of a bar in Llorente de Tibás.

One of them allegedly tried to bribe two officers with around one million colons, according to police. The men were driving a Honda with two Glock pistols in the vehicle, according to a report. Both weapons were without permits, officials said.

The Special Operational Forces and Operational Support Group agents also arrived after reports of other powerful weapons and ammunition in several parked vehicles. After a quick review, officers found seven other weapons, including a U.S.-made AR-15 assault rifle, which uses 5.56- milimeter caliber bullets and has an effective range of at least 500 meters, according to the Ministerio de Seguridad Pública.

Police said another individual had three pistols with four loaders and a total of 31 bullets.

Earlier this week, the security ministry reported that 340 firearms have been confiscated in the first four months of the year

Some say fate, and others just say it was bad luck
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

Crime sometimes is like a bolt of lightning, and the victims just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

That was shown clearly early Wednesday when a U.S. citizen suffered a fatal gunshot wound in Jacó when he tried to protect his female companion.

That also was clearly the case about 4 p.m. in the heart of San José when two robbers held up the driver of a bus as the vehicle was making a turn onto Avenida 5.

Judicial agents also made a series of raids Wednesday in the Sept. 18 murder of a passerby who died when he accidentally found himself in the crossfire among gang members.

The Jacó murder happened about 4:20 a.m. When the American, identified tentatively as John Joseph Lonigan or Lonergan left a dance club with a female companion and hailed a taxi on Avenida Pastor, the town’s main street.

A short time later they were confronted by a man that the Judicial Investigating Organization said tried to sell them drugs. The judicial report said that the two passengers, the American and the woman, both declined to make a purchase, and the vendor appears to have become angry.

The man tried to pull the woman from the taxi, and the American came to her aid. In the ensuing fight, the American suffered a bullet wound to the chest and jaw, said a judicial spokesman. He died at the local clinic.

The man with the gun fled on a motorcycle, an investigator said. There was no immediate information on the immigration status of the victim, who many have been just a tourist.

The bus stickup happened on Calle 1. The northbound bus was making a left turn to go east on Avenida 5. There was no police report, and the information comes from witnesses.

Two men on a motorcycle pulled up and

intercepted the bus as the driver was
maneuvering the vehicle around the corner in heavy traffic. The men quickly took what they wanted from the driver and fled on the same motorcycle. Another witness, a young man, tried to chase the bandits on foot, but they managed to evade him.

Earlier Wednesday judicial agents detained two persons in the Sept. 18 death. That happened in  Bajo Los Ledezma in La Uruca. The victim was a 26-year-old man with the last name of Villalobos.

Agents said that two cars pulled up and the occupants began shooting. Some of the individuals went into a home and others remained on the street firing their weapons. That was when the victim received the fatal shot.

Agents arrested an 18 year old man in Bajo Los Ledezma and a woman, 24, in Pavas. They said the investigation showed that the victim has nothing to do with the drug activity and did not even live in that area.

During the arrests Wednesday, agents said they confiscated cocaine and marijuana
