Drug-dealing house that operated in broad daylight raided by the National Police

Alicante National Police conducted an operation that destroyed a drug-trafficking criminal organisation centred on the city’s northern region. Seven individuals of Moroccan and Spanish nationality, aged 18 to 36, were taken into custody during the operation: six males and one woman.

Once the existence of an organised organisation operating out of a drug distribution location in the northern section of Alicante was discovered, the investigation got underway. To find the culprits and validate the unlawful behaviour, officers set up monitoring and surveillance systems.

The primary point of sale was discovered to be open for business all day long, with a steady stream of customers who came just to buy drugs.

By selling the drugs from a window that looked directly out into the public street, the group members decreased the chance of being caught by enabling customers to buy the drug without having to enter the house.

Two other residences were found to be utilised as drug warehouses or “nurseries” to supply sales in addition to the point of sale under investigation. Four hundred grammes of cocaine, 10.5 kilogrammes of hashish, 800 grammes of marijuana buds, three precision scales for weighing drugs, and thirteen expensive cell phones were seized during the operation’s three searches.

Arrests and the legal status

During the operation, the seven inmates were taken into custody. They all played a part in the criminal network, whether it was in the custody and storage of drugs or in direct sales. Five of the suspects were remanded in custody after police investigations, and the others were turned over to the Alicante Court of First Instance. The investigation is still ongoing, and it is not ruled out that more people who might have been connected to the events being investigated would be arrested.

The National Police reminds everyone that identifying and eliminating drug-dealing locations in urban areas requires the participation of the general population. Residents are encouraged to report any suspicious activities anonymously online at www.policia.es or by calling 091.
