Emmanuel Concepción García, alias “El Plátano”, 26 years old, was detained by the National Police last Wednesday in La Vega province, according to a judicial order from the Regional Subdirection of Investigation (DICRIM). The measure was taken after a complaint was filed alleging that the detainee threatened and pursued a merchant with a machete inside a fried food establishment located in front of the city’s free zone.
Complaints and captured evidence
The complaint indicates that the incident occurred when the merchant was attending to his clients when “El Plátano” emerged with a machete and began shouting threats, forcing him to flee to avoid a possible aggression. The complainant claims that the accused also threatened to return to the business carrying a firearm. The DICRIM agents confirmed that the recording of the security cameras of the establishment was handed over to the authority, constituting a key piece of the investigation.
Judicial procedure and next step
The police executed the judicial order number 2025-AJ0071182, handing over Concepción García to the Transit and Citizen Security Unit for custody. The detainee will be placed at the disposal of the Public Ministry, who will determine the next legal steps. The representatives of the Public Ministry stated that the presented evidence will allow advancing with a formal accusation for threats and white weapon aggression.
Impact on the local community
The case has generated concern among merchants in the free zone, who express that violence with white weapons should not be tolerated. The National Police reiterates its commitment to guaranteeing the security of businesses and the protection of citizens in commercial areas.
