"A Lie" That There Are Barrios In San José That Even Police Will Not Enter

In a show of force to dispel the lie that there are "barrios" in San José that not even the police will enter, as the Organismo de Investigación Judicial (OIJ), backed up by the Fuerza Pública, descended on one of San José's most conflicted areas, the Aguantafilo in Hatillo.

Armed with guns and warrants police took the barrio by storm looking for some of the most wanted criminals in the country.



The quick police action took everyone in the barrio, especially the anti-socials when police went as far as the "alamedas", areas generally under control of the criminal gangs that inhabit the area.

In a matter of minutes police had a number of the wanted in handcuffs as the rest of the gang members began setting fire to some of the "bunkers" that are used to store drugs and weapons and hide out.

As a bonus, police had in the hands a man with an "important' quantity of illegal drugs and cash.

Following the police action, the fire department had to respond to the fires set by the criminals.
