Mixed police and army patrols have rounded up 200 people in an operation that focused on certain areas considered most prone to criminal activity. The patrols confiscated weapons, drugs and stolen motorcycles. Police spokesman Colonel Jesus Cordero told reporters that on the first night of the operation alone the patrols netted 150 people even though most were checked out and released. He did say that the patrols seized some drugs, a precision scale, a pistol, two flak jackets and long knives during the searches. Some of the arrested were caught red-handed while robbing homes or stores. Colonel Cordero also announced the capture of two people accused of murdering Francisco Augusto Moreta and Felix Joel Rena last Monday.
