The final All Hands on Deck initiative this year yielded 419 arrests, D.C. police announced Monday, a 40 percent increase over the same two dates last year when there was no such initiative.

During the 48-hour blitz this weekend, homicide detectives closed two murder cases and officers seized more than $94,000 in cash and $52,000 worth of drugs, police said. Officers doubled to 70 the number of narcotics arrests, as compared to last year, and rounded up twice as many fugitives. A prostitution sting this weekend also netted 19 offenders.
