from the press, via culmine, transl waronsociety (links added):

The Special Force of the Fight Against Crime (FELCC) yesterday arrested four university youth, two men and two women, allegedly involved in the bombing of the ATM of Banco BCP on Av. Saavedra in Miraflores, at a wall of the General Staff of the Army.

The four suspects were apprehended after two separated raids on their residences, and then transferred to the Special Center of Police Investigations (CEIP) in Alto Següencoma. Evidence against them was heard in the presence of the prosecutors Patricia Santos and Carlos Fiorilo,

In the early hours of May 24, there was an explosion, presumably caused by dynamite, inside of the ATM of the BCP of the General Staff, which caused the rupture of windows in a restaurant located across the street.

The morning of that same day there was another explosion — of a gas grenade — in the facilities of the Hugo Dávila school. The police authorities afterwards related these incidents with the explosion that happened in the premises of the import dealership Imcruz on May 13.
