The investigation was initiated after officials received intelligence suggesting that the nightclub was involved in illicit activities, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, and illegal weapons possession. During the operation, law enforcement agents executed a search warrant, leading to the seizure of narcotics, cash, and firearms. Six juveniles were also recovered from the premises and placed in the care of state social services for their protection.
Among those arrested was Sergio Joel Galo-Baca, a Honduran national who is the subject of an INTERPOL Red Notice for homicide charges in Honduras.
