A joint operation by the National Police and local law enforcement in Murcia has resulted in the arrest of two Spanish nationals linked to a significant drug trafficking organisation. The arrests follow a police intervention on February twentieth, which began when officers identified suspicious activity in the La Alberca area of Murcia.

When approached by police, one suspect attempted to flee while carrying a package that was later determined to contain cocaine. A detailed search of the area led to the seizure of more than thirteen kilograms of the drug, stored in various packages for distribution.

Investigators obtained a judicial warrant to search the residence of the individual, uncovering more than one hundred thousand euros in cash, along with several mobile phones and documents tied to drug transactions. Additionally, two vehicles and a motorcycle suspected of being used in drug trafficking were confiscated.

The two suspects face charges of belonging to a criminal organisation and drug trafficking, with one also charged with assaulting an officer. Authorities continue to probe the criminal network involved in distributing and adulterating cocaine in the Region of Murcia.
