Details of the Arrest

On⁤ August 19, 2025, officials with the Bolivarian National Police ⁢Corps (CPNB) in Falcón⁤ state, Venezuela, apprehended an undocumented man in⁣ the ‍Bicentennial sector of Parroquia Punta Cardón, Carirubana municipality. The arrest occurred after authorities caught the individual allegedly in possession of a substantial ⁢quantity of marijuana.

according to a statement released by the Ministry of Interior,⁢ Justice and Peace via their social media channels, the seized contraband included approximately 800 individually wrapped portions of marijuana, a GPS device, and ⁣16 bags. The⁤ precise contents of the bags were⁢ not specified.

The suspect was apprehended “in flagrance,” meaning‍ he ‍was⁣ caught in the act of committing the alleged crime. This is a key ⁣legal term in Venezuelan law,⁢ indicating a⁣ clear ‍and⁤ immediate offense.

Legal Proceedings and Next Steps

Following the arrest, the case has been formally turned over⁤ to the ‍Public Ministry for further inquiry and prosecution. ⁣ The Public⁤ Ministry will determine the specific charges to be⁢ filed against the suspect and⁤ will oversee the legal proceedings. ⁤ The suspect’s undocumented status⁤ will likely be a factor in the legal proceedings, possibly leading to additional charges related to ⁣immigration violations.

It ⁢is indeed critically ⁣important to ⁢note⁤ that these are allegations at this stage, and the suspect is presumed ⁣innocent until proven guilty⁣ in a court of law.

Understanding “In Flagrance”

the term‍ “in flagrance” (in flagrante delicto in Latin) is a crucial element of this case. It signifies that the police apprehended‍ the suspect while‍ the crime was⁢ actively taking place. This‍ strengthens the case for prosecution, as it provides direct evidence of the ⁣alleged offense.It differs⁣ from arrests made based⁢ on suspicion or ⁣investigation alone.
