Police Operation Dismantles Chiriqui Gang

[Keith Woolford]

Units of the National Police successfully dismantled a criminal group that operated in the province of Chiriqui.

A total of 14 people were arrested after operations carried out in the wee hours of the morning this Thursday in the communities of Niño Divino and San Cristobal, in David. It is worth mentioning, that the detainees had tattoos that identified them as members of a gang.

Staff of the Senior Prosecutor specializing in crimes of illicit association (gangs) were present during the police action.

Unbelievable. A 15-year old was caught with two heavy calibre weapons, an Uzi and an AK-47, in Colon today by two Lynx police. (Linces - pair of dudes on a dirt bike with an automatic weapon that you see cruising around - they are the SWAT response if there's trouble)

Odd place to nap.

Meanwhile, the Policia Nacional did release these photos of the operation. These guys are branded by their tats. Brilliant way to avoid detection.

We have a winner!

Were any of these photos actually taken this morning during this operation? No date or time stamps. The photo of the weapons looks identical to one I saw recently after a search and seizure op at the jail in David.

Silly, Greg dose not post phony photos.
