  • Officers seized about 1,700 grams of sexual-enhancement substance and 41 grams of cocaine, along with cash and materials linked to distribution.
  • The probe began in Paterna after surveillance of a high-end car and a street exchange led to a vehicle inspection that found six grams of cocaine and €210.
