During a raid conducted by the Armed Forces, National Police, and the Quito Municipality on the night of February 6th and early morning of February 7th, several nightlife and tolerance centers across Quito were targeted. This operation resulted in the discovery of a minor in one of the establishments, highlighting concerns regarding child protection and safety in these venues. Authorities confiscated various illegal items, including bladed weapons and unregulated alcoholic beverages, indicating ongoing issues with law enforcement in these areas.

The raid impacted five establishments, leading to the closure of two—one for failing to adhere to biosecurity norms and another due to the presence of the minor on the premises. This event underscores the critical need for stricter regulations and oversight in the nightlife industry, particularly concerning the protection of vulnerable populations such as minors who may be exposed to dangerous environments.

Additionally, the Quito Municipal entities reported the withdrawal of fifteen bottles of alcoholic beverages that did not meet the required tax and sanitary standards set by law. This incident not only reflects the challenges faced by authorities in combating illegal operations in the nightlife sector but also raises awareness of the broader issues related to public safety and the enforcement of health regulations in Ecuador.
