Colombian gang dedicated to robberies in Santo Domingo Este dismantled
National Police agents carried out a strategic operation in East Santo Domingo, managing to capture three Colombian citizens accused of being part of a dangerous criminal structure. The detainees are accused by the authorities of using sedative substances to neutralize their victims and strip them of their belongings.
The individuals were identified as Natali Valeria Castillo González, Laura Valentina Villegas Villafaña, and Diego Armando González. Their arrest was carried out following a raid executed at an apartment located in the Arrecifes del Sol residential complex, a place where they were allegedly hiding while operating in the area.
Modus operandi of the criminal network
According to the preliminary report from the authorities, the criminal group specialized in luring men for the purpose of administering sedative drugs to them. Once the victims lost consciousness or were under the effects of said substances, the perpetrators proceeded to commit the robberies in a systematic manner.
The National Police highlighted the following points regarding the case:
- The detainees operated under an organized structure.
- The place of capture was the Arrecifes del Sol residential complex, in East Santo Domingo.
- The individuals involved are currently under the control of the authorities for the necessary judicial processes.
This operation is part of the actions carried out by the law enforcement agency to dismantle criminal networks that use deception methods to compromise the safety of citizens. Those involved will face charges for their actions before the corresponding courts in the coming hours.
