Los Ríos Ecuador: Five Security Guards Presumed Drugged with Escopolamine

lahora.com.ec (machine translated) reported Near a hacienda in San Carlos parish (Los Ríos) agents of the National Police found a van with five people who would have been presumed to be drugged with escopolamine.

According to the police, they were workers of a security company and were in a state of unconsciousness. They were taken care of by the staff of the Ministry of Public Health, who would quickly have given them a dose of detoxifying serum to regain consciousness.

After this, one of the affected indicated that they guarded a container that went from Guayaquil to Quito and that they stopped to eat in Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas. At that moment two people would have approached them asking where they were going and what they were moving. That was the last thing they remember. Then they noticed that the guns had been stolen, not a revolver that was in the backpacks of one of the guards.

Faced with this situation, the police personnel informed the prosecutor of duty Diómedes Solís, who ordered the return of the vans to the representative of the company of guards. He also told them to legalize the complaint in Santo Domingo de los Colorados so that the case can be clarified. Read Article
