Police and Peru’s armed forces have again stepped in to seize and destroy illegal mining operations threatening heritage values.

A diverse array of illegal mining equipment worth more than S/. 127,000 (US$ 400,000) was seized and destroyed by Peru’s National Police (PNP) near the Nazca archaeological site in Ica, it was reported today.

Antonion Fernandez, Peru’s High Commissioner for Formalization and Interdiction of Illegal Mining, said that the country’s first task was to protect its natural and cultural heritage assets.

The Nazca geoglyphs were designated a World Heritage Site byUNESCO in 1995, hence the mineral riches under the ground remain untapped.

The temptation is for illegal miners to take advantage of what Mr Fernandez calls a “wilderness of minerals”.

”Illegal miners dig tunnels there, mostly in an effort to find gold ore,” Mr Fernandez told official news…

An Orlando FL mother is facing charges after a video on Facebook showed her encouraging her daughter to fight a high school classmate. Sandra Padilla Miranda, 38, was charged with child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Police say video showed her yelling in Spanish to her 17-yr old daughter to “hit harder” and “bite her” during the altercation with a 14-yr old girl. The classmate told police that Miranda invited her to fight her daughter, who then struck her and attempted to bite her on the face. According to the Orlando Police Department, Miranda said she “was in fear that her daughter and the other girl will continue to fight in school, so she wanted it settled.” According to police, Miranda has admitted that she was wrong for encouraging the fighting. Miranda posted $1,100 bond at Orange County jail. If convicted, she could face jail time, fines, probation or a combination of the three.

Cartel Members Gun Down Helicopter in Mexico During Narco Raids

Three Mexican soldiers were killed Friday when members of a drug cartel opened fire on a military helicopter forcing it into an emergency landing. The authorities said that 10 more soldiers were wounded in the incident.

The government announced on May 1 the beginning of Operation Jalisco in the country’s largest state of Jalisco against the New Generation Drug Cartel, which has been expanding its reach in the province in recent months.

“I lament the deaths of the members of the Mexican military in the fulfillment of their duty in Jalisco,” President Enrique Peña Nieto tweeted.

In the state capital of Guadalajara, the cartel group also set several buses and cars on fire, torched banks and gas stations, and blocked roads in at least 20 areas across the city. The governor said that today’s attacks were a result of the announcement of the operation.

Such “narco-blockades” are a common cartel response to the arrest of important members or are used to foil police and military operations.

Luis Carlos Nájera Gutiérrez de Velasco, the state’s attorney general, described the group as the “least vulnerable, least attacked” of the major drug gangs and said the federal government has not been doing enough to help the state.

“Remain calm. If you have any reason to leave your house, don’t go out,” the Jalisco state prosecutor’s office said on Twitter as the country celebrated celebrated the May 1 holiday.

Last month, the same group killed 15 police officers in an ambush that was described as the deadliest since president Peña Nieto took office in 2012.
