More than 2,600 police agents and 48 assistant prosecutors took to the streets over the weekend in a large swoop against crime and drug distribution in the National District and Santo Domingo province. They carried out over 200 searches looking for people accused of murder, armed robberies, swindles and drug trafficking. In one day, over 500 portions of drugs, 6 pistols, 2 SUVs, 9 motorcycles and an electric generator were confiscated. A hundred people were arrested or held for questioning. By Monday, the newspapers were reporting that more than 7,000 drug doses had been confiscated and 630 people arrested for drug possession.
Generals Jose Polanco Gomez and Valentin Rosado Vicioso led the raids, under the command of National Police chief Major General Guillermo Rafael Guzman Fermin. The large contingent of agents belonged to the departments of Criminal Investigations, Criminal Intelligence, Anti-Narcotics, AMET and DNCD, and 150 vehicles and 9 canine units were also put to use. According to the DNCD's Roberto Lebron, the swoop was part of an operation called "Santo Domingo without Drugs: Part II".
Among the people rounded up was Eliezer Bienvenido Ferreira (Papo Trenzas), who was arrested in Los Alcarrizos with 17 portions of what was presumed to be crack cocaine, a 9 mm Taurus automatic, number TRE07373 and an Infinity SUV, all without the correct documents. Ferreira was already a fugitive on two counts of drug-related cases.
