Local money, customer cell phones, televisions, wallets and other valuables were part of the items stolen by three criminals. They even took Fabio Arboleda's car, another former Challenge participant.
"You panic when you hear a shot. But we had to be calm," said Arboleda, who recalled how all customers feared for his life.

However, it was because of Arboleda's cell phone that something could be done in the middle of the confusion.

"They had not turned off my cell phone. Then I activated the iPhone's GPS, with that we managed to track people and I could recover my cell phone," he explained. With this information, the police followed the criminals, who fled in a van and in the stolen car.

Finally, and after an exchange of shots in full persecution, the agents managed to capture two of the members of the band in the town of Engativá.

"With the support of the Usaquén Police Station, two people are reacted and captured immediately, some elements of the restaurant and customers are recovered," said Colonel Roberto Carlos Sánchez, Usaquén Police Commander.

Those indicated were made available to the authorities.
