The Syrian security forces started a massive operation in the Latakia Governorate this week that targets several wanted criminals around the province.

According to a report from the security forces, their personnel have already arrested a large number of wanted criminals in the provincial capital and port-city of Jableh.

The report added that the security forces arrested criminals from all over, including powerful and famous families.
