September 1st, 2014 (InsideCostaRica.com) A Friday raid on a home in Heredia yielded a large cache of military-grade weaponry as well as a small marijuana nursery.

 

Authorities discovered a wide array of weaponry in the raid, including multiple assault rifles, suppressors (colloquially known as silencers), 20 9mm handguns, three 3.57 handguns, homemade fragmentation grenades filled with nails, and 15 ready-made Molotov cocktails.

 

Police also discovered night vision equipment and a sniper rifle, at least 200 pounds of ammunition, a large amount of cash and jewelry, and a small marijuana nursery.

    Why have we not seen (well, I haven’t found it anywhere yet) the name of the “suspect”? Nationality? I think that is important information for people to have – in case they knew/ran across him.

      As the article says above, the suspect is a 29-year-old Costa Rican – I just left the office but I’ll get you his last names shortly.

        Un costarricense de apellido Hernández, de 29 años…la nacion

    He has a murder conviction and he’s still out and about? Granted, Solis appears to be cleaning house these days, which is long overdue. I guess we just have to wait until he gets around to cleaning up the “Justice” system. It can’t be too soon!

      I’m not to surprised he has a murder conviction and is out. Seems to be right on par these days.

    Murder will get you 9 years for a single homicide in CR so it’s no surprise he was on the streets. It’s pretty clear he was the fall man for either the Colombians, Jamaicans, or Mexicans.
