In Torrevieja, the Citizen Security Unit, known as USECIC, has made significant drug trafficking arrests over two days, detaining seven individuals in total. The first operation occurred on the twenty-third of March, when officers stopped a car driving the wrong way on a central street. Upon inspecting the vehicle, they discovered one kilogram of ketamine hidden in a backpack and eight grams of pink cocaine in the glove compartment, along with nearly one thousand five hundred euros in cash.

The passengers included four Colombians, aged between twenty-six and forty-three, who now face drug charges and potential document forgery after the driver’s driving license was found to be fake. Additionally, authorities seized mobile phones and the vehicle used in the crime.

The following day, officers conducted another operation leading to the arrest of three more individuals, aged between thirty-four and thirty-five, who were caught in possession of one hundred and fifty grams of cocaine and over two thousand euros in cash. The investigation is ongoing, and all seven suspects have been released with charges pending.

Diligences from both operations have been submitted to the Instruction Court Number Four in Torrevieja. The community continues to face challenges with drug-related issues, underscoring the importance of law enforcement efforts in maintaining public safety.
