Tanks have once again taken up position with RENEA and the special units, giving the residents of Vorë a sense of security. Numerous police officers took part in last night’s operation, supported by army forces as well. Police sources say several people suspected of robberies and involvement in armed groups have been arrested. Sunday evening was extremely tense. In several cases, residents have asked that the roadblocks not be removed and that checks continue. Some young people have been questioned, while the special forces have searched several homes and suspected locations. Police say the operation will continue until calm is restored. Representatives of local government and the central government tried to reassure residents that the situation would remain under control. Meanwhile, the number of detained persons has risen to 32. Some of the weapons seized are automatic weapons, hand grenades and quantities of ammunition. The operation is considered one of the largest carried out in this area since this year’s unrest.
