Benidorm Local Police detained seven persons on drug trafficking charges during an investigation at six pubs in the city’s so-called “English zone.” They discovered drugs disguised in fire extinguishers, sofa coverings, and toilet paper holders.
As part of the initiative to improve inspections of establishments in that area, six have been registered in Rincón de Loix in the previous month, with four being closed as a precautionary measure after drug quantities were discovered inside.
During this operation, the Local Police seized 200 grams of cocaine, 300 LSD and MDMA pills, 200 dosages of marijuana (THC), 20 grams of hashish, eight bottles of nitrous oxide, as well as numerous mobile phones and €3,000 in cash.
According to police spokeswoman Quique Tortosa, the recovered drugs “would have exceeded 30,000 euros on the black market.”
Modus operandi
The detainees’ tactics were remarkably similar: they buried the drugs in numerous spots across the facility. The narcotics were discovered strewn in a variety of locations, including fire extinguishers, electrical outlets, toilet paper holders, and even sofa coverings.
The seven arrested persons, who are of British, Pakistani, and Moroccan nationality, have been sent to the National Police Station so that the Drugs Unit can assess whether they will be tried in court.
