Description
Ecuadoran armed forces storm a house in the northwest of Guayaquil, in the conflict-ridden area of Monte Sinai. The neighborhood, controlled by the criminal gang "Los Fatales," is notorious as a hub for drug trafficking and extortion.
The operation resulted in nine arrests of suspected members of organized crime groups. The head of the Nueva Prosperina district, Ramiro Arequipa, said 100 kilos of cocaine were seized in the area.
In a large operation called Resurgir 37, about 200 police and military personnel searched several homes identified by military intelligence as drug storage points and sites for the sale of marijuana and cocaine. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
