Santo Domingo.- The Police raided Friday morning a scrap metal yard  in Villa Mella where it seized the biggest amount of stolen members ever, including aangle iron, I-beams, rails, thousands of feet of power line cables and parts of water pumps of the dams and canals agency, INDRHI.

Theft Dept. agents accompanied by a deputy prosecutor conducted the raid in the scrap yard Santa Cruz, on Mirabal Av., Villa Mella, owned by Manuel Ramon Hilario, whose son Luis Hilario was arrested.

Among the metals seized figure 146 angle irons of various sizes, 37 parts of water pump valves, 15 pieces of rails and a large amount of electric cables.

Also found at the site were dozens of pieces of metal, steel wires of different thickness and other metal objects.

The angle iron was reportedly stolen from power line posts of the State-owned utility CDEEE, and hidden in the basement along with tracks and other pieces of the State Sugar Council’s railway system.

There must be a PADRINO involved ? This is a brazen act against the republic and the private sectors..

The death penalty would fix this and corruption.

Presuming officials are right about the specifics, have a trial, then short answer is shot him. For that the law on capital punishment needs to be changed, death is not so bad – we will all experience it once, live rightly and honorably and hope it is long and enjoyable, if not expect a sudden stop . Fellow is no good and personally profits from degraded infrastructure, corrupts others, and is without doubt running a continual criminal enterprise, on the other hand maybe a good father and support charities – blows smoke, so what.

This is a tiny island and it shouldn't be hard to round up the criminal base! But there is no will to do so because you step on too many Politcian and local mafia toes that have a lot of power.

Give people a reward for reporting theft that leads to arrest. Maybe this guy is a PRD supporter so he now has to pay his tax :-)

Make an example out of this guy. Confiscate everything including the land on which the business sits, then give him ten years and a stiff fine.
That should send a clear message to other dealers/ thieves!
