Across Spain, Police Step Up Drug Raids With Major Seizures of Cocaine, Cannabis, Cash and Jewelry

Investigators describe months-long cases driven by neighborhood complaints under judicial oversight.

Overview

  • In Cullera, Operation Begarob ended with three arrests, 1.017 kilos of cocaine, €71,265 in cash and over 150 gold jewels seized, and a judge ordered the main suspect jailed without bail.
  • The Guardia Civil’s Operation NAIA in Tarragona dismantled two indoor grows with 1,011 cannabis plants and six detainees after a yearlong probe that uncovered electricity fraud and rotating rental vehicles.
  • In Villarrobledo, Operation Rejum took down two sales points near secondary schools, seizing 432 grams of cocaine, more than €10,000, a detonator pistol and knives, with four of eight detainees sent to prison.
  • Policía Nacional officers in Elda stopped a car and found over nine kilos of cannabis buds in the trunk, detaining a couple and citing the driver for a license offense.
  • Urban ‘narcopiso’ enforcement continued with 21 drug flats deactivated and over 70 arrests this year in Madrid’s Puente de Vallecas, while Irun police shut a flat selling cocaine, hashish and pregabalin and keep the case open for more suspects.
