Escondido crime sweep nets 56 arrests
ESCONDIDO - Escondido police, backed by county, state and federal law officers, swept the city for people likely to commit crimes during the holidays and arrested 56 people, an Escondido police lieutenant said Sunday.
Those taken into custody during the operation Friday and Saturday nights were accused of narcotics, weapons or prostitution violations, or were sought on warrants, Lt. Chris Wynn said.
The 90 to 100 officers who participated also handed out 74 citations and impounded 22 vehicles, Wynn said.
He said the Escondido Police Department ran the sweep with help from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, San Diego County Probation Department, Regional Auto Theft Task Force, state Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control, state Department of Corrections and federal immigration officials.
