The players went shopping at a mall and noticed a suspicious car following them along the way, but one of the players quickly took action and activated security protocols to call the local police.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson close to the Colombian national team said: &#8220;The players&#8217; quick reactions and cooperation with the security team were key to preventing the incident,&#8221; adding that they also spoke of the importance of the strict protective measures adopted by the team, especially during activities outside of training camp.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"ue-c-article__subheadline\">Was anyone arrested in connection with the attempted robbery of the Colombian national team?<\/h2>\n<p>Fort Lauderdale police intercepted the vehicle shortly after the players raised the alarm and searched it, finding latex gloves, weapons and tools commonly used in burglaries. Additionally, two people in the car, both Colombian nationals with fraudulent immigration status, were arrested.<\/p>\n<p>As Ricardo Orrego told Blue Radio, authorities have confirmed that the suspects have a criminal history in the United States and may have ties to a gang that specializes in stalking powerful people and robbing shopping malls in the area.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote\">\n<p>The detainees are part of a group that carefully selects victims at tourist sites, confirming that this is not an isolated incident.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"ue-c-article__blockquote-author\">Ricardo Orrego<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Importantly, there were no injuries or significant losses to Colombian players as a result of the attempted robbery.
