Police actions in Santiago leave 14 arrested for various crimes
The National Police, in coordination with the Public Ministry, intensified its preventive and investigative work in the province of Santiago, achieving the arrest of 14 people during a series of operations carried out in the last 72 hours. These actions are part of the strategy to combat crime and strengthen citizen security in various sectors of the region.
Results of the operations
The interventions, which included raids and the execution of court orders, allowed for the clarification of multiple cases linked to robberies, fraud, and illegal possession of weapons. As a result of these deployments, the authorities managed to recover a vehicle reported as stolen and seize various firearms, ammunition, and stolen items.
Notable arrests

- Elvin José Espinal Zarzuela: Apprehended in Pastor Bella Vista after being found with a .38 caliber Smith & Wesson revolver, which he was carrying without the required legal documentation.
In addition to these cases, the authorities carried out arrests through judicial warrants in locations such as Puñal, Villa González, Hoya del Caimito, Los Girasoles, Licey al Medio, San José de las Matas, and Mari López, where several individuals remain under investigation for their alleged participation in criminal acts related to robberies.
The institution of order reaffirms its commitment to security in Santiago, ensuring that the detainees and the seized evidence have already been placed under the control of the Public Ministry for the corresponding legal purposes.
