DRUG NETWORK DISBANDED "eight people have been arrested, of both Spanish and Colombian nationality, by officers from the National Police who broke up a drug trafficking organization based in the town of Roquetas de Mar.
Officers from Almería seized 4.2 kilograms of cocaine, a handgun, ammunition, anabolic steroids, two cars, a night vision monitor, 3,000 euro in cash, fifteen mobile phones and a collection of documents and materials believed to have been used by the criminal gang.
The investigation, which began several months ago, focused initially on the ring leaders of the organization based in Almería, who would provide drugs to smaller time dealers who then sold the drugs directly to the public.
As part of the investigation, officers were able to identify two people who were at the very top of the supply chain, with contacts in Madrid, who in turn fed drugs to similar networks across Spain.
During the course of the investigation it was determined that the organization used so called “mules”, people posing as tourists who would travel to South America by air, to then return to Spain carrying the drugs."
