The Guardia Civil has successfully executed operation ‘Kusuyi’, resulting in the dismantling of a family-run drug trafficking operation in Torre Pacheco, Murcia. This initiative, part of efforts to combat drug trafficking in the region, led to the arrest of three individuals associated with the most active drug sale point in the municipality.

The investigation began in February after detecting indicators linking a family group to significant sales of substances such as cocaine and crack. Surveillance identified a married couple and their son as the primary distributors, carrying out transactions from their residence, which became a hub for drug activity. The operation revealed frequent interactions between consumers and the family, with many habitual users and other small dealers having their purchases seized by police.

Upon further investigation, the intelligence revealed the matriarch of the family as the main operator who procured drugs for distribution. She was also involved in acquiring stolen goods, which were exchanged for drugs. Her husband was responsible for distributing cocaine, while their son garnered notoriety for his ability to prepare cocaine derivatives and acted as a lookout for potential police presence.

During the raid on their residence, authorities seized a substantial quantity of narcotics and various stolen items. Investigators noted an uptick in property crimes in the area, often connected to drug use, which further emphasised the importance of this operation in tackling local crime linked to drug trafficking.
