National Police chief Major General Polanco Gomez has ordered patrols to be reinforced along the Las Americas Highway between the Las Americas International Airport (AILA) and downtown Santo Domingo. This step was taken as a result of the latest wave of robberies targeting travelers coming from the airport. Polanco ordered ten elite "Lynx" unit police patrols to carry out 24-hour monitoring and vigilance along the roadways around the airport and leading to the capital. Some units will also patrol the highway to the east, towards San Pedro de Macoris. Hoy also reports that the patrols will be watching people who get into taxis and will check to see that no vehicle or motorcycle takes off after the newly arrived passengers and their luggage.
