Police break up weekend “parking” parties

Police officers intervened on the weekend in two clandestine parties, activities known as parking lots.

In the Samaria sector, San Miguelito district, two people suffered personal injuries as a result of a fight at an unauthorized party, while in El Chorrillo, some 32 people were apprehended, including several minors.

Police deputy commissioner Fernando Vargas said that in Samaria talks were held to get people to leave for their homes, but by ignoring it, intervention units went to the area to evict them.

On the other hand, the clandestine parking in El Chorrillo was taking place in the 24 de Diciembre buildings popularly known as La 15 pisos, the Police said.

Deputy Commissioner Roberto Rodríguez said that it was necessary to use the Crowd Control units since there were more than 200 people in the place, listening to music at high decibels.

Investigations determine that there was ingestion of alcoholic beverages and the minors were made available to the Police Service for Children and Adolescents.
