In Torrevieja, police seize almost 100,000 ecstasy tablets

National Police ecstasy pills Torrevieja

One of the biggest ecstasy caches ever found in the nation was broken up in Torrevieja by the National Police’s Drug and Organised Crime Unit (Udyco): up to 104,000 pills. The operation, which is still under wraps, is the result of these investigators’ observation of a Slovak resident of Cartagena who they suspect of being a “courier” for a drug trafficking organisation.

Five suspected gang members have been arrested thus far as a result of the raid: four Algerians and one Slovakian, many of whom live in the Murcia region, notably in Cartagena and Molina de Segura. Sources claim that the seizure occurred in a Torrevieja building’s garage on February 25th, but it was not made public until yesterday, Thursday 13th March, since the investigation was still underway.

It appears that a number of gang members had assembled at the site to conduct a narcotics trafficking operation, and they made an attempt to escape on foot when they saw the police presence. They didn’t think twice about smashing a number of officers with their cars in order to do this.

Investigators discovered the cache, which included about 104,000 ecstasy tablets, in the trunk of one of the cars. This seizure complements an earlier National Police operation and may result in a larger quantity of this narcotic being seized.

The arrest of further suspects and the resolution of other offences cannot be ruled out because the investigation is still ongoing.

Two inbound flights from the UK to Alicante request police on arrival

Jet2

Two flights from Edinburgh and Manchester that arrived at Alicante-Elche Airport yesterday morning, Saturday 15th March, requested the presence of police after landing as a result of the presence of disruptive passengers. Police were requested by the stewards of both flights from the United Kingdom, and the Civil Guard was present to supervise the individuals in question upon their arrival.

The X account of air traffic controllers has revealed the problematic arrival of the two aircraft, which are operated by Jet2 (LS775) and EasyJet (U2 2013). Right now, the specifics of the incident on the aircraft that necessitated the intervention of local authorities are unknown.

Woman ran over at a bus stop in Alicante and then attacked with scissors and a knife

National Police

Accused of purposefully running over a 35-year-old woman at a bus stop in the rural district of El Rebolledo in Alicante and then attacking her with scissors and a knife, among other bladed weapons, a 37-year-old woman and her 16-year-old daughter were taken into custody by the National Police this week. Days after the two parties argued, the attack took place.

The event happened on Camino del Fardacho in El Rebolledo last Monday at approximately 11 a.m. Following their prompt response after being mobilised by the 091 dispatch team, officers from Grupo de Motos de Seguridad Ciudadana -los “Rayos” (the Citizen Security Motorcycle Group (the “Rayos”)) and the Alicante Central Police Station apprehended the two suspected offenders after the National Police received a report of a hit-and-run and assault with sharp objects at a bus stop.

The victim was hit by a car driven by a mother and her daughter as she was at a bus stop in El Rebolledo with her companion, according to police records. The accused motorist struck the victim in the leg after colliding into the bus stop and then turned around with the intention of striking her once more. After she finally pulled over, the mother and daughter used a knife and scissors to attack the wounded woman.

When receiving an 091 call, the National Police promptly responded and took the two attackers into custody when the victim’s boyfriend stepped in to stop additional beatings.

After arriving at the site, a Basic Life Support (BLS) ambulance treated the injured individual and transported her to a hospital, where she received treatment for cuts and bruises to several body regions; stitches were not required.

After that, forensic and judicial police officers showed up at the scene. They discovered the knife and scissors used in the assault when they were inspecting the detainee’s vehicle.

In Benidorm, a repeat abuser breaks into his ex-‘s home and assaults her

Alicante Provisional Court

A man was given a total term of two years and three months in jail by the Alicante Provincial Court. The punishment was handed out to a habitual abuser who broke into his ex-partner’s Benidorm home and assaulted her. In order to avoid calling a jury to try a breaking-and-entering case, the defendant came to an agreement whereby he entered a guilty plea to the offences.

The man was incarcerated after receiving multiple convictions for abuse and restraining order violations.

On May 6th of last year, the woman was leaving the grocery while examining her cell phone in the first of the events for which he is currently facing charges. The defendant flung her phone to the ground as he came up behind her. According to the verdict, it is established that the defendant completely disregarded the restraining order that forbade him from approaching the victim.

On May 8th, two days later, the defendant jumped through the living room window to enter the victim’s house. “If you’re not for me, you’re for no one,” he said, grabbing the victim by the hair and dragging her into the living room. He then kicked and punched her, threatening her with a screwdriver and screaming that she had sent him to jail and that he was going to kill her first, then kill himself.

During a High Court hearing this week, the man entered a guilty plea.
