Havana authorities seize cash, a revolver and illegal substances

A police operation in the Luyanó Moderno district of San Miguel del Padrón, Havana, resulted in the seizure of five million pesos in cash, a revolver and illegal substances. Cuban authorities connected the intervention with action against criminal activity. The operation brought together money, a firearm and drugs in an enforcement action carried out in that area of the capital.

The cash was the largest item by amount among the seized property: authorities reported five million Cuban pesos. A revolver, also identified as a firearm, and illegal substances were taken along with the money. Reporting on the operation therefore describes three types of seized items, although it provides no details about the nature of the substances found.

Banknotes associated with the case ranged in denomination from 20 to 10,000 pesos. They were gathered in bundles held with rubber bands and stored in a pink suitcase. That presentation describes how the cash was arranged, while the reported total was five million pesos. The weapon and illegal substances formed part of the same police seizure in Luyanó Moderno.

The intervention was located in Luyanó Moderno, a district in Havana's municipality of San Miguel del Padrón. That reference places the operation in a specific area of Havana and distinguishes the location from a general reference to the capital. The reported result was not limited to money: it included a revolver and illegal substances linked to the police action.

Authorities are continuing to investigate people connected with the case. Information released about the operation describes the seizure of the money, weapon and substances and places the investigation after the enforcement action. For now, the central event is the seizure in Luyanó Moderno, with five million pesos as the reported sum and two other categories of items taken during the operation.
