The operation involves agents from the Puerto Rico Police Bureau, the FURA special operations unit and the Department of Housing, who are also searching vacant apartments. González said authorities had seen videos on social media showing shootings at night and in the early morning hours, in response to concerns brought by residents. "The intelligence we have is that they are at war over control of the drug points operating in these towns," González said.
