Couple arrested after converting their Elche residence into a “supermarket” for illicit substances

Police National

Neighbours’ multiple reports of suspected drug trafficking from a residence in the Puñalada neighbourhood of Elche have enabled the National Police to eliminate a drug sale hotspot. Police say the house was a primary distribution point for marijuana and hashish.

Spanish nationals, a man and a woman, respectively 37 and 49 years old, have been apprehended for drug trafficking crimes as a consequence of an operation that started after citizens’ associations and the Elche National Police’s Citizen Participation Unit had contact.

The officers analysed the data and then conducted multiple surveillances on the premises under investigation, during which they saw a high volume of customers coming and going, providing conclusive evidence of the sale of the aforementioned substances.

Following the identification of the house’s occupants, the police conducted a search of the residence under investigation and the subsequent arrest of the two individuals on charges of narcotics trafficking.

Additionally, 107 grammes of marijuana, 38 doses of hashish, and 14 doses of ready-to-sell marijuana were confiscated during the search. The same sources also state that 966 euros in coins and bills, a knife, and a precision scale were also found.

Woman arrested after throwing two dogs from an eighth-floor flat in Alicante

The National Police have detained a 53-year-old woman in Alicante for reportedly throwing two Yorkshire terriers out the window of her eighth-floor home, supposedly because she refused to take them for a walk.  The Local Police arrived to identify and recover the bodies of the two dogs.

    The animal’s owner, who appeared in court yesterday morning, Monday 24th March, revealed to police officers that the incident occurred at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday on Calle Sol Naciente in the Alicante neighbourhood of Albufereta, from where she was later detained.

    Following a report of the event, a National Police patrol responded to the area.  They interrogated many witnesses, who claimed that the now-detained woman threw several objects into the street.

One killed in accident near the AP-7 exit at Ondara

Denia Lorry Crash

The firefighters at the Dénia station worked a long night, not only extracting the deceased driver but also preventing the fire from spreading to the two colliding vehicles.
The images depict how the smaller vehicle, whose occupant was killed instantaneously, was transformed into an unrecognisable mass of metal.

This morning was an extremely difficult and busy night for the Provincial Fire Consortium, particularly the firemen at the Dénia fire station. They were hard at work responding to the accident at the AP-7 exit in Ondara, on the bridge over the N-332, where a horrific collision occurred. As stated by this newspaper, a huge trailer crashed with a smaller crane vehicle, killing the driver instantaneously.

In addition, the two occupants of the larger truck were injured and transported to Dénia Hospital. Heavy traffic bottlenecks ensued.

Firefighters, who provided these photographs depicting how the smaller vehicle had been reduced to an unrecognisable pile of twisted metal, had to remove the deceased, stop diesel spills, keep both vehicles from catching fire, and clear the route.

Meanwhile, Guardia Civil and Local Police officials directed traffic coming from the highway, Dénia, and other nearby towns. The First Security Force’s traffic investigation department has launched an investigation to identify the cause of the collision, which saw the two vehicles collide nearly head on.

Residents of San Miguel demand more public housing

House Construction

The San Miguel de Salinas Residents’ Association has filed an appeal against the final approval of the third revision to the SUS-A partial plan “Los Invernaderos.” This appeal comes after the group’s 21 objections were dismissed.

The alteration they oppose proposed increasing density and consolidating it in eight towers with ground floors and seven high-rise structures in the development’s proximity to the town centre, as well as situating social housing on the same land, they claim.

The number of dwellings in this partial plan has risen from 1,582 to 2,204 since its first approval. They protest that only 90 units are classified as public housing.

According to the association’s reasoning, the land earmarked for social housing should be 30% of the residential buildable area in the area, which equates to 48,886 m2. These 90 reserved homes total slightly over 11,000 m2.

According to the association’s statement, the legal department’s reaction is that this rule applies to “rural land that will be included in new development projects,” which is incorrect because the area is already heavily urbanised.

Another criticism raised by this group is that social housing not be concentrated on the same plot, as this would be a “segregationist” decision with no integration.

They also point out that the sector is divided into two half by a promenade, with no infrastructure connecting the two regions of development, allowing people to move more freely.
