Wednesday, several police and taxation authority inspectors hit the Mercado de Carretera de Sagua. A number of the vendors there just stampeded, leaving their goods behind. Others were arrested and taken to police headquarters, where they were asked to explain where they obtained the products they were selling. Yet others were fined or issued warnings.
