Venezuela’s military has detained a group of the National Guard soldiers who stole weapons, and called for an uprising to be staged against President Nicolas Maduro, RT reported.

Early on Monday morning, videos surfaced on social media showing a group of some two dozen men dressed in military uniforms and carrying assault rifles on the streets of the Venezuelan capital Caracas.

One of the men, who identified himself as a sergeant major of the Venezuelan National Guard, said the soldiers had risen up against Maduro to “defend the constitution.” The man also called on Venezuelans to support the rebels and take to the streets to fight for their rights.

Soon after that, photos published on social media showed police Special Forces units, the FAES, being deployed to the area where the rebels were seen. Some media reports also said there was a shooting outside the National Guard barracks in Caracas.
