Chile San Antonio Port

In October last year, there were many robbery in northern Chile, and the authorities of the country blamed it on international criminal gangs. Police said the robbery may be done by local criminal gangs.

The local police captain Gonzalo Garcia told the media, "This is a gang who may work in San Antonio because we have other crimes similar to similar characteristics."

He added that this was a carefully planned robbery, involving multiple trucks. "They cut off the security camera. When the camera was cut off, the gang's other group of people immediately went in to intimidate the guards and workers."

According to reports, this is the largest bronze theft since there were many robbery in northern Chile last October. At that time, the Chilean government was forced to strengthen safety measures to transport electrolytic copper trains. logistics

Chile is the world's largest copper producer. This violent robbery has increased a lot of pressure on the country's transportation safety. Chile's mining companies have repeatedly complained about the behavior of professional gangs to steal copper mines.
