Boca Chica, Dominican Republic.- Drugs Control (DNCD) agents conducted raids to nab drug dealers in the communities Andres and La Caleta, with at least 15 suspects arrested, after residents complained of rampant drug trafficking and related street crimes.

The DNCD added that the raids busted the narcotics sale points belonging to the alleged pushers known as “Wiro,” “El Menor,” “Jose la Ceiba,” “Los Sanjuaneros,” “La Boina” and “Bolivita.”
