Twin Saturday police raids in Jacó net 31 foreigners, most of them females
By the A.M. Costa Rica staff

Some 28 woman and three men are being investigated for immigration violations after two police raids early Saturday in Jacó. Security ministry spokespersons said that 16 Colombians, eight Dominicans, six Nicaraguans and a Peruvian were detained in the raids. The women were taken away in a bus.

The police action was a joint one among the Policía Especial de Migración, the Policía Turística, the Unidad de Intervención Policial and the Municipalidad de Garabito. Although the report from the Ministerio de Gobernación, Policía y Seguridad Pública did not say so, many of the women were most certainly prostitutes working at the two bars that were raided. Francisco Castaing, chief of the immigration police, said that the raid was in response to the uneasiness of Jacó residents with the large numbers of foreigners in the area. He said they were sources of illegal activity.

Those were were detained will have to demonstrate their legal right to be in the country. Prostitution is not prosecuted in Costa Rica, and most women who come from elsewhere to engage in that activity also have some way to make their presence here legal. Frequently that is by marriage, false or otherwise.

So do they have 2 marches these days? When I was there, they had a march against c h i l d sexual a b u s e only.

A large number of FOREIGNERS in a beach resort town. My God, is there no end to the depravity?!?!?!

They should be loading up the crack heads and c*ke dealers if the tourist really want to feel a little more secure.Let the girls work !

If it wasn't for the action, why go to Jaco? There are far better beach destinations in CR. Or just skip CR altogether and go to Florida.

Yeah the beach sucks , but when a good swell is on at Hermosa all is well in the surf.......................also the Dominican's no how to cook and play.

Ya, at least we have white sand in Florida. I've never been to Jaco and don't really care to. Why? When I go to CR I want pu*sy not sand between my toes, I can get that here.
