In a surprise bust that shocked the establishment in Peurto Rico, several hundreds FBI agents, in the operation they dubbed "Guard Shack", executed one of the largest concentrated national FBI efforts in U.S. history. The bulk of the FBI forces descended via planes in a manner that one would think could only happen in action movies among the unsuspecting criminals across Puerto Rico. Over 130 corrupt police officers and civil servants were arrested on various charges dealing with corruption and whatnot.
All suspects except for four of them were successfully apprehended. It was the culmination of many months of undercover operations involving illicit drug deals. Surprisingly, no one was wounded in the bust. Some of the suspects were actually warned the night before the massive raid, but apparently it was already too late for most of them. The huge number of suspects and arrests highlights the major corruption problems in Puerto Rico.
