Four police officers arrested in Venezuela for appropriating money found among rubble, authorities say
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Four police officers in Venezuela were arrested on Tuesday for allegedly stealing money found among the rubble of collapsed buildings in La Guaira, a region heavily impacted by last week's earthquakes. The officers, part of the Scientific, Penal, and Criminal Investigations Corps (CICPC), have been expelled from the agency and will face legal proceedings. CICPC director Douglas Rico condemned their actions as disgraceful, noting that they exploited rescue efforts for personal gain. Videos circulating on social media show citizens confronting one officer and destroying cash he possessed. The death toll from the earthquakes has risen to 1,943, with over 10,500 injured.
