One of the biggest ecstasy caches ever found in the nation was broken up in Torrevieja by the National Police’s Drug and Organised Crime Unit (Udyco): up to 104,000 pills. The operation, which is still under wraps, is the result of these investigators’ observation of a Slovak resident of Cartagena who they suspect of being a “courier” for a drug trafficking organisation.
Five suspected gang members have been arrested thus far as a result of the raid: four Algerians and one Slovakian, many of whom live in the Murcia region, notably in Cartagena and Molina de Segura. Sources claim that the seizure occurred in a Torrevieja building’s garage on February 25th, but it was not made public until yesterday, Thursday 13th March, since the investigation was still underway.
It appears that a number of gang members had assembled at the site to conduct a narcotics trafficking operation, and they made an attempt to escape on foot when they saw the police presence. They didn’t think twice about smashing a number of officers with their cars in order to do this.
Investigators discovered the cache, which included about 104,000 ecstasy tablets, in the trunk of one of the cars. This seizure complements an earlier National Police operation and may result in a larger quantity of this narcotic being seized.
The arrest of further suspects and the resolution of other offences cannot be ruled out because the investigation is still ongoing.
