The National Police have dismantled a drug selling point in the Palma neighbourhood of La Soledad that operated non-stop, protected by reinforced doors and a system to eliminate evidence in seconds.
Agents from the II Narcotics Group of the UDYCO, with support from the UPR and GOIT, have dismantled a drug selling point in the La Soledad neighbourhood of Palma that operated 24 hours a day, according to the National Police.
The property, which functioned as a true bunker, was designed to withstand any police intervention. Access was secured with two doors, one of which was reinforced with six iron bolts, in addition to a surveillance camera that constantly monitored the street to alert of the agents' arrival.
During the search, the suspect attempted to dispose of a large package by throwing it down a drain specially built to eliminate evidence, which led to a huge cistern filled with water. A system designed to quickly make the drugs disappear before an inspection.
Inside, agents found 60 grams of rock cocaine, marijuana, several precision scales, tools for distribution, and nearly 5,000 euros hidden in a double-bottomed sofa. They also discovered a notebook with sales records that evidenced the shift operation of sellers, allowing the business to remain open continuously.
Additionally, the property had an illegal connection to the electrical grid, posing a fire risk to local residents. The operation resulted in the arrest of a man, accused of an alleged crime of drug trafficking and another of electricity fraud.
With this operation, the National Police has closed one of the most active and well-protected drug selling points in La Soledad, a neighbourhood where operations against drug trafficking have intensified in recent months. The detainee has been placed at the disposal of the judiciary.
