National Police officers in a shantytown in Murcia, between La Fica and in the Miguel Indurain region, removed numerous shopping trolleys worth €2,000 and almost a kilo of marijuana. The police operation led to the arrest of six people, who have since been released.
Police said that these folks, who don’t have much money, steal the trolleys to make a living. For example, they use them to collect scrap metal or other things they can sell to generate money.
The organisation stated in a statement that the suspects, who have a history of similar crimes, are accused of theft and crimes against public health.
The statement said that “the events took place on Avenida Miguel Induráin, where agents saw a group of people watching a lot of supermarket trolleys and how they were handling plants that looked like cannabis.”
People have been living in filth in this neighbourhood for years, and many of them are unauthorised immigrants. The homes are basic, and the cleanliness is inadequate. The cops have been to the place before.
The police say, “the agents then identified these people, confirming that the plant substance they were handling was marijuana, weighing almost one kilogramme.”
In the same way, “they also checked that the shopping trolleys belonged to nearby supermarkets, which were worth about 2,000 euros, so they arrested the six people and charged them with theft and crimes against public health.”
At the end of October, the National Police took over the shantytown of La Fica in Murcia again. They found roughly twenty people there.
