Recently, there was violence in Chilean ports, in which 13 containers were looted and millions of dollars worth of goods were looted.
Chilean authorities said that they were investigating a violent robbery in Chile’s main seaport, in which the perpetrators stole several containers full of copper. These goods belong to the Chilean National Copper Company, a large state-owned enterprise.
The district attorney said in a statement that in the early morning of the 10th, 10 militants entered the port of San Antonio, attacked workers and stole 13 containers, 12 of which contained copper.
Prosecutors said, “One security guard and four workers were tied up and beaten (the attacker), and then imprisoned.”
According to the report, the National Copper Company of Chile said that the copper would be exported as originally planned. Local media quoted police sources as saying that the copper was worth about $4.4 million.
The head of the local police said that it was a well-planned robbery involving multiple trucks. “They cut off the security camera, and as soon as the camera was cut off, another group of people in the gang immediately went in to intimidate security guards and workers.”
It is reported that this is the largest robbery since there were many copper robberies in northern Chile last October. The robberies that occurred last October forced the government to strengthen the security of the delivery of refined copper trains.
It is understood that Chile is the world’s largest copper producer. According to Reuters, criminal gangs often steal copper products locally. Violent robbery has put a lot of pressure on the country’s transportation security. Chilean mining companies have condemned professional gangs for many years.
