Albuquerque, NM – New Mexico State Police (NMSP) officers in Albuquerque made 149 arrests over the past week as part of an ongoing operation to combat crime in the metro area, officials announced Thursday.
According to NMSP, the arrests included 34 felony charges and 115 misdemeanors, bringing the total number of arrests since the start of the operation to 291. Officers said the coordinated effort targets criminal activity through what they described as “sustained pressure” on repeat offenders.
Of those arrested, 124 individuals were identified as repeat offenders, underscoring what police say is a continued focus on high-risk and habitual criminals in the region.
The latest arrests are part of an extended enforcement initiative launched earlier this year aimed at improving safety and reducing violent and property crimes across the Albuquerque area. Police have not released additional details about individual cases tied to this week’s arrests but say similar operations will continue through the end of the year.
In a statement, NMSP reaffirmed its commitment to protecting New Mexico residents, noting that officers “will remain relentless in their mission.”
