At the provincial level, the total number of procedures exceeded 70, reflecting an unusually large deployment. Security Minister Juan Pablo Quinteros stated in radio interviews that cases of urban violence are a cause for concern due to access to weapons.
The security forces indicated that among the seized items were firearms, replicas, bladed weapons, and several vehicles. These results are considered key to weakening the actions of criminal groups in the most conflictive neighborhoods.

More controls to stop acts of violence in the neighborhoods
So far in August, more than 250 procedures have been carried out in the provincial capital and various towns in the interior. These raids led to multiple detentions of people accused of various crimes against property and physical integrity. Authorities also managed to remove a significant number of illegal weapons from circulation.
One of the most serious incidents in recent days occurred when a 15-year-old teenager stabbed his stepfather during a family argument. The attack, which caused great commotion, led to the intervention of the Police and the detention of the young man's mother. This was because, when the complaint was filed, it was found that the woman had an outstanding arrest warrant.
Authorities emphasized that the continuation of the operations seeks to anticipate possible violent acts before they occur. In this regard, they highlighted the importance of recovering safe neighborhood spaces free of illegal weapons. The strategy also aims to discourage the formation of gangs that increase insecurity in the city.
