Two criminals killed by the police after attempting to lock up a gas station in Cerrillos

Two criminals were killed by Carabineros officers during a robbery attempt at a gas station in Cerrillos, Metropolitan Region, on Friday night. The incident occurred around 10:50 PM at a Shell station located at the intersection of American Vespucio Avenue and Airport Street, heading east. According to Teniente Coronel Christian Bichett, prefect of the Rinconada Prefecture, three suspects attempted to trap a driver who was loading fuel. In response, Carabineros used their service weapons to intervene, resulting in two fatalities. The Ministry of Public Prosecution has assigned the investigation to OS-9, Labocar, and the SEBV department of the uniformed police.
