The Guardia Civil has detained a thirty-year-old man in connection with a public health offence after discovering eleven doses of cocaine hidden inside a modified vape. The arrest took place during a security operation in the industrial area of La Granadina, located in San Isidro. Officers initiated a stop during routine patrols when they noticed the suspect exiting a betting establishment without wearing a seatbelt.

During the identification process, officers noted the man’s unusually nervous behaviour, prompting a thorough inspection of both his person and vehicle. During the search, investigators uncovered five hundred and seventy-nine euros in small denominations and several mobile phones. Disturbed, the suspect voluntarily handed over a vape he had been concealing under his clothing.

Upon examining the device, law enforcement officials found eleven pre-packaged wraps of cocaine intended for direct distribution. The suspect has previous criminal history and now faces charges related to drug trafficking. After the incident, he was presented before the Juzgado de Instrucción número dos in Orihuela.

Following the proceedings, authorities decided to release him from custody, imposing certain cautionary measures as part of his conditions. This incident highlights ongoing efforts by law enforcement to combat illicit drug activity in local communities.
