In a joint effort between National Police agents and the Public Prosecutor’s Office, a raid was carried out at a commercial establishment located in La Vega, resulting in the seizure of various illicit products and the detention of one person for investigation purposes.
The operation was executed by members of the Regional Intelligence Sub-directorate (DINTEL), with the strategic support of the Preventive Police, under the protection of a duly authorized judicial order.

During the inspection of the premises, the authorities proceeded to seize the following items:
- 800 Capital brand cigarettes.
- 14 units of the sexual stimulant called Troyano.
- 10 units of the product Néctar del Amor.
- Two slot machines that were operating irregularly.
So far, the official report issued by the Office of Information and Strategic Communication of the La Vega Regional Directorate of the National Police has not specified whether the products lacked the necessary sanitary registrations or legal permits for sale to the public.
