A major, a captain and two low level officers in the National Police were dishonorably discharged from their duties for being part of a contraband ring and sent to justice. Dario Lorenzo y Lorenzo, Santiago Encarnacion, Juan Antonio Decena Javier, and Jose Joel Contreras Reyes are accused of robbing trucks that contained merchandise and selling the goods as contraband. These four former officers join Captain Generis Sanchez Moreta and Sergeant Major Ramon Antonio Duran Lopez, who had previously been accused of association with illegal activities. Those two officers were arrested on the 22nd kilometer of the Duarte Highway as members of a gang that was robbing a truck that was carrying whisky. Police Chief Bernardo Santana Paez said that there is no place for corrupt cops in the Dominican police force. The chief said that proof of the efforts to purge the police is that in the past these events would have been kept private and wouldn't have made headline news.
