Guaidó told the media that went to the scene that the officials did not identify themselves and did not show any type of court order.

The Freddy Guevara situation
Shortly before, Juan Guaidó's press team had reported that the vehicle in which Freddy Guevara was traveling, close to Guaidó, had been intercepted by troops they described as heavily armed.
The politician says he does not know the whereabouts of Guevara.
However, shortly after, his press team reported that he could be detained at Helicoide, one of the headquarters of the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN).
A CNN team traveled to Helicoide, where a National Police commissioner indicated that Guevara was not at the site.
CNN asked the Attorney General's Office for details of Guaidó and Guevara's complaints, but so far we have not received a response.
The vice president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, accused both leaders on Saturday of being linked to the acts of violence committed by criminal gangs in the southwest of the capital, which were the target of a security operation since Thursday.

Juan Guaidó responded to these accusations through his Twitter account, in which he assured that "what the regime intends to do with the case of Cota 905 is a repeated novel, one more show in which they are going to blame the alternative democratic ".
He added that "they lie, censor and confuse to cover up reality."
The opposition considers, on the other hand, that there is a kind of complicity of these armed gangs with the Maduro government.
