Central Havana police operation seizes cash and detains several people
The actions included checks at several points in the capital and resulted in 22 fines for different violations.
The National Revolutionary Police and the Technical Department of Investigations seized nearly 1.5 million Cuban pesos and detained several people during an operation.
The intervention began at Industria and Neptuno streets, where people carrying the money were found. It then expanded to El Curita Park and surrounding areas, a taxi stand in Guanabacoa, and Galiano Avenue and its boulevard.
At those locations, authorities detained drivers offering unauthorized private passenger transportation. They also acted against bicycle-taxi and motorcycle operators who were not meeting applicable requirements.
The operation included removing three speakers with media players and an exhaust pipe connected to a vehicle cited for excessive noise. Authorities issued 22 fines totaling 24,500 pesos.
