Following the escape of 41 detainees from the Protection Transfer Center and a subsequent road blockade connecting Santa Marta to Barranquilla near Tasajera, leadership changes have been implemented within the Santa Marta Metropolitan Police. Colonel Yeison López (also referred to as Jeyson Haird López Puerto) has been removed from his position as commander of the police force.
Jimmy Belalcázar is set to assume the role of commander of the Santa Marta Police, replacing the outgoing colonel. The command shakeup directly follows the security breach involving the dozens of escaped detainees and the disruption of transportation routes in the Magdalena department.
