The Civil Guard dismantles a cocaine sales point in Cieza

Citizen Security Prevention

Investigators have arrested the five members of the criminal group as alleged perpetrators of drug trafficking and electricity fraud and similar crimes.

Nearly a hundred doses of cocaine, hashish, cash and objects related to drug trafficking were seized during the search.

The Civil Guard of the Region of Murcia, as part of the services established to prevent and prosecute drug trafficking, has carried out Operation Onsen in Cieza, an investigation that has resulted in the dismantling of an active drug sales point and the arrest of the members of the criminal group that ran it.

Investigators from the Civil Guard have seized nearly 100 doses of cocaine, hashish, drug-related paraphernalia, and cash. They have also arrested the five members of the criminal group, who belonged to a family clan, as alleged perpetrators of drug trafficking and theft of electricity and similar products (water).

Citizen Security Prevention officers from the Civil Guard began the investigation last September when, thanks to public collaboration, they obtained evidence of a home located in the urban area of Cieza that was apparently being used for the sale of narcotics.

The first steps of the operation allowed the Civil Guard to verify the existence of a large flow of people who converged at the same residence at all hours of the day. They also confirmed that some of the drug sales were carried out on the same public street, with complete impunity, by all members of the family clan who allegedly ran the active drug sales point.

Drug sales 24/7

Investigators continued their investigation and established a broad and discreet surveillance system at the home, which revealed a significant number of exchanges of substances for money and an unusual high level of movement of people at all hours of the day and every day of the week.

Once all the necessary evidence was obtained, following judicial authorization, the Civil Guard entered and searched the property under investigation, seizing nearly 100 doses of cocaine, prepared for immediate sale, as well as divided cash and other items related to drug trafficking.

The search resulted in the arrest of five members of the criminal group, belonging to a family clan, as alleged perpetrators of drug trafficking and electricity fraud and similar crimes, as they had illegal connections to electricity and drinking water.
