The Guardia Civil has apprehended two individuals, a twenty eight year old man and a twenty seven year old woman, suspected of drug trafficking in Torrevieja. This operation took place in late January during a routine check on the CV-998 road when the officers noticed the driver appearing nervous and evasive.

Upon stopping the vehicle for inspection, agents discovered one thousand one hundred forty nine grams of cocaine concealed inside. They also found two glass jars containing six point sixty seven grams of a substance referred to as ‘tusi’, or pink cocaine.

Both occupants were arrested on charges of drug trafficking. Alongside the drugs, law enforcement confiscated one hundred forty euros in cash from the suspects. The judicial authority has since ordered the male suspect to be held in provisional custody.

The female, however, has been released with precautionary measures in place. This incident highlights the ongoing efforts of the Guardia Civil to combat drug-related crimes in the region.
