Violent looting in Venezuela was planned

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said on Friday that a supermarket looting incident in Bolivar state was planned. A fruit and vegetable worker died near the violence as a result of a gunshot wound to the chest, local media reported.
The incident comes as Venezuela is facing shortages of key goods, with the government arguing that business sectors are causing most of the shortages in order to delegitimize the government and to make large profits.
Maduro said that he was sending the Liberation of the People Operative (OLP) to Bolivar state to catch those he blamed for the crime, which he described as "mercenary groups, paramilitaries, and infiltrators."
He said that during the violence a publicly owned Yutong bus was also attacked, and he called on Venezuelans to be alert to "violent groups who try to provoke chaos in the country."
