The Venezuelan armed forces continued patrols in the mountains of La Guaira state on Wednesday, as they searched for more people involved in the failed raid of Sunday, May 3, for the tenth consecutive day.
More than 10 "mercenaries" have already been detained in this region, thanks to a security deployment that also involves local communities, who warned the military of the presence of these alleged mercenaries, eventually leading to the capture of some of their number.
More than 40 people have been arrested so far in the Macuto area, on the coast of La Guaira state, after the failed raid.
On Sunday May 3 there was a failed incursion attempt into Venezuela under the name of 'Operation Gideon', when an armed group attempted to enter Venezuelan territory aboard speedboats, which were intercepted and repelled by security forces. The detainees included two US citizens who were paid by the Florida-based company Silvercorp.
