The National Police arrested eight alleged members of the DDP (Dominican Don't Play) Latino band on Thursday last week accused of cheating with drugs in a San Clemente street premises and committing several robberies they had generated insecurity problems in the district of Carabanchel. Four of those arrested were already signed as members of this dangerous gang and another of them was in the indoctrination phase, according to the first police inquiries.
The detainees are between 17 and 22 years old and have numerous police records for attempted murder, illegal possession of weapons and belonging to a criminal group. Three of those arrested are Dominican, another three Spaniards born in the Dominican Republic, a Peruvian and a Palestinian. The police consider them as very violent members of the band and leaders of the Carabanchel choir.
40 bags of marijuana
In the operation, the agents seized 40 bags of marijuana ready for sale and cash from the drug trapping. There were also supplies and materials to prepare more doses.
The police intervention was carried out as a result of a series of neighborhood complaints about the continuous drug trapping in that place of number 4 of San Clemente street. At the same time several people had indicated that squatters were also dedicated to stealing and intimidating young people from the district . The money taken from the retailing of marijuana and robberies served to finance the illicit activity of this group that had threatened other groups such as Los Trinitarios and los Ñetas.
On Thursday at 00:30 hours the National Police deployed in the street of San Clemente and raided the squatted premises. Several indications of the Operational Response Group of the Carabanchel Police Station were involved. When they entered the premises they surprised the young gang members with the drug. At least three of the detainees tried unsuccessfully to escape through a back window.
The place was also used as a meeting center and as a point where they prepared some criminal actions against other groups.
