In a me­dia re­lease the TTPS said the co­or­di­nat­ed ex­er­cise be­gan around 3:50 a.m. on 5th June, 2025, and took place across the Ari­ma, Ch­agua­nas, and San Juan dis­tricts.

The TTPS said the op­er­a­tion drew on the com­bined re­sources of sev­er­al spe­cialised units, in­clud­ing the Pro­fes­sion­al Stan­dards Bu­reau, the Fraud Squad, the Spe­cial In­ves­ti­ga­tions Unit, the Fi­nan­cial In­tel­li­gence Unit, the In­ter-Agency Task Force, and the An­ti-Cor­rup­tion In­ves­ti­ga­tion Bu­reau.
