GUATEMALA CITY, Shawwal 10, 1437, July 15, 2016, SPA -- Guatemalan police captured 106 suspected gang members in a series of raids against warring gangs responsible for a wave of drug violence, authorities said on Thursday, according to Reuters. The operation involved 146 raids in 12 states in which police seized ammunition, firearms, bank receipts and cell phones used by gangsters in the Central American country to threaten to kill their victims, officials said. "We concentrated our efforts on criminals who commit crimes within the country and also more than 30 people inside prisons who belonged to these criminal structures," Guatemala's Interior Minister Francisco Rivas told a press conference. He said police had dismantled 53 criminal rings since June. --SPA 01:39 LOCAL TIME 22:39 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
