Suspects in shooting at OIJ building allegedly supplied weapons to 'Los Lara' and 'Los Gemelos'

Costa Rican law enforcement has arrested two men in connection with an alleged attack on a building belonging to the Judicial Investigation Agency (OIJ). The arrests took place in Tres Ríos, a district in the canton of La Unión, Cartago, where OIJ officers searched a residence and detained suspects aged 18 and 24.

Sources indicate that the detained individuals are suspected of participating in an assault targeting the Office of Plans and Operations (OPO), a unit within the OIJ. This incident has raised concerns about the security of law enforcement facilities and the ongoing efforts to combat organized crime in the region.

Authorities are investigating a potential link between the arrested men and the supply of weapons to notorious criminal organizations, specifically "Los Lara" and "Los Gemelos." This connection suggests a broader network of illicit activities and highlights the challenges faced by law enforcement in dismantling these groups.
