SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Roughly 500 U.S. drug agents and Puerto Rican police swept through public-housing projects at dawn Friday on the island’s west coast in what officials described as the largest operation of its kind in the American territory.
Authorities had arrest warrants for 158 people and hoped to seize more than $1 million in property in an attempt to dismantle drug-trafficking gangs and reduce crime in Mayaguez during the upcoming Central American and Caribbean Games, said Special Agent Waldo Santiago, a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman.
