On January 10, 1983, a Republican Guard was robbed of his weapon by two alleged PCP-SL militants in the city of Huancayo. This event was part of a series of actions by the PCP-SL aimed at stealing weapons from the forces of law and order. In those same days, the subversives also stole three submachine guns from soldiers providing security during the raising of the national flag in the city of Huancayo. These events marked the beginning of an escalation of violence in the Mantaro Valley during the 1983-1986 period.
