These are the police uniforms used in the kidnapping of businessman Jenss Lara

Police clothing and tactical equipment used in the kidnapping of mining businessman Jenss Marty Lara Tantaquilla appear to be genuine National Police items, according to forensic experts in La Libertad.

Investigators found the equipment abandoned in a sugarcane-growing area of El Cortijo Bajo, in Trujillo, during operations following the kidnapping and killing of four people in the early hours of Aug. 30. The findings appear in Criminalistics Inspection Report No. 1299-2026, requested by the Homicide Division.

Among the items was a black Forz Tactil work uniform with a police identification holder marked “Third-Class Non-Commissioned Officer” and Lara's national identity card in the pocket. Investigators also found a tactical belt with a weapon holder, a handcuff holder and Maxarmy M100 security handcuffs.

A second evidence sample contained a black tactical vest bearing labels identifying a third-class police officer and the word “Police.” Another included a tactical jacket with a National Police logo, Emergency Squadron patches and a Peruvian flag patch. The report also listed a black tactical helmet, a pair of size-40 boots and a pair of fingerless tactical gloves.

The police are still investigating the three most recent detainees: Roy Peter Bocanegra Aguilar and his sons, Roy Stiven Bocanegra Marreros and Juan Manuel Bocanegra Enríquez. The article ends while describing the circumstances of their intervention.
