Police destroys drug gang with extensive records

December 4, 2019 by Staff News Writer

Three men were arrested by the Drug Control Police (PCD) on Tuesday as drug sales suspects near a school located in Pozos de Santa Ana, reported the press department of the Ministry of Security Public (MSP).

The police determined that the suspects sold drugs in front of a school and in its surroundings

practically at the main entrance and so close to an educational center that it is presumed that when the students were in the gym or in the classrooms they could witness the illegal business, which was also committed outside and inside the homes of members of a criminal organization,”

explained the MSP.

After the alert on line 1176, the PCD officers entered the homes of the suspects in Barrio Corazón de Jesús in Pozos de Santa Ana. The narc structure sold crack and marijuana in that community. The police also showed that this situation put the student community and the residents of that community at risk.

The apprehended are identified with the surnames Durán Vargas, 18, with a file for possession and consumption of drugs 10 times, physical aggression two times, and violation of the Domestic Violence Law; and Castro Vílchez, 19, who has been arrested six times for possession and use of drugs, and a 17-year- old minor.
