Gang Members Arrested

Six members of the dangerous gang ‘Real Gangster For Life’ were arrested Thursday in Buena Vista, province of Colón, as part of operation ‘Praderas’.  The objective of this raid was to dismantle this criminal group, linked to other crimes such as homicide, robbery and drug trafficking. The operation, led by the prosecutor’s office with the support of the National Police, included searches at the Nuevo Esperanza prison, where some members of the gang are provisionally detained for other crimes.  During the raids, relevant evidence and clues were seized.  Simultaneously, in the province of Colón, operation ‘AresF1’ was carried out, which has resulted in the arrest of 17 people so far. These people are wanted for crimes that include homicide, rape, fraud, robbery, and domestic violence, amongst others.
