Abelardo De La Espriella stated that Operation Shield 360, called “No Truce to Crime,” had resulted in 72 individuals being captured, 50 search warrants executed, 17 firearms seized, one grenade, and more than 6 kilograms of drugs removed from the streets of Barranquilla and its metropolitan area. He pointed out that among those detained were alleged leaders and members of Los Costeños, Los del Freseo, Los Porteños, Los Rápidos, and the Gulf Clan. According to what he wrote, the operation had affected their finances, extortion networks, micro-trafficking activities, and structures that, he said, instilled fear among citizens. He also acknowledged the coordinated efforts of the National Police, Military Forces, and the Attorney General's Office, and assured that his Government would not give a truce to crime. #Barranquilla #NoMásDelito #SeguridadCiudadana (translated)
