A group of military officials were arrested for seizing weapons from a National Guard command post in the Cotiza region of Caracas, on Monday, according to Venezuelan authorities.
The arrest came after a video was posted on social media, where men wearing military fatigues and carrying weapons called for the removal of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. In one of the videos, a man identifying himself as Sergeant Armando Figueroa urged Venezuelans to take to the streets in support of the mutiny.
Just hours after the incident, scores of people hit the streets in one of Caracas' impoverished neighbourhoods not far from the country's presidential palace. Security forces responded with tear gas.
