The Public Force identified three people who would be members of mara 18 (M-18) from El Salvador.

The first case occurred during the eighth mega-operation that took place in the country when two Salvadoran men were identified in a vehicle in Calle Morenos, Sabana Sur. The director of the Public Force, Daniel Calderón, explained that after a road check and police intelligence information, the subjects were identified.

The suspects remained under the custody the Migration Police and, according to Calderón, they are linked to violent acts in the Central American country.
