The Colombian Army arrests two people who allegedly supplied uniforms to the FARC, during a raid on a factory outside Bogota on Wednesday.

The arrests were made by troops from Gaula, Cundinamarca in the town of San Cristobal, which resulted in the dismantling of an illegal factory that produced military fatigues for the FARC’s 21st and 53rd Fronts.

Colombian authorities seized almost $7,000 in cash, 485 olive-green uniforms, 50 mosquito nets, 25 water-resistant articles of clothing, and five industrial sewing machines, among other contraband.

According to the army, the raid was made on the tailor shop in an effort to neutralize logistic support for the FARC in the capital.

Those captured are charged with the crimes of trafficking, as well as manufacturing and possessing garments that were intended to be tailor-made for exclusive use by the National Armed Forces, not the FARC.
