The Civil Guard arrested two suspects as alleged perpetrators of a crime against public health, for drug trafficking, and a crime related to the protection of flora, fauna and domestic animals
The Civil Guard of the Region of Murcia, within the framework of the services established to prevent and prosecute drug trafficking, has carried out the ‘SIALGA’ operation in Mazarrón, which has resulted in the dismantling of an active drug sales point and the arrest of the two people who directed it, as alleged perpetrators of a crime against public health, for drug trafficking, and a crime related to the protection of flora, fauna and domestic animals, for the illegal possession of twenty goldfinches .
Members of the Meritorious Citizen Security Prevention opened the operation last March, when they detected the existence of a property through which, presumably, drugs were distributed at retail.
The civil guards initiated a surveillance device to verify the facts, which allowed verifying the existence of a notable transfer of buyers, accounting for nearly fifty daily drug sales.
In addition to the illicit activity detected, the investigators verified that the drug exchange was carried out a few meters from minors, since the investigated address was very close to an educational center in the municipality, making sales even during school dismissal hours, events that had generated some social alarm.
Once all the necessary evidence was obtained, the civil guards, with prior judicial authorization, carried out the entry and search of the house, in which clear indications were found that they were at a point of sale, finding different narcotic substances, as well as a large amount of fractional money and blunt weapons.
In the registry, the civil guards found 200 grams of marijuana and several doses of heroin, a crossbow with five arrows, a handmade weapon consisting of an elongated stick ending in a sharp knife, a cane-rapier, more than 2,500 euros in fractional money from the sale of narcotic substances and various stolen clothing.
At the time of entry, the residents woke up and threw the cocaine down the toilet; however, when applying a drug test in spray mode on it, the result was positive, so this fact could be objectively confirmed.
In addition to the drug, the civil guards also found 21 goldfinches inside the house that were in a large aviatory, as well as smaller cages, which are considered a protected species, their possession not being allowed.
Members of the Nature Protection Service (SEPRONA) of the Civil Guard traveled to the scene, seized the birds and transferred them to the “El Valle” Wildlife Recovery Center in the Region of Murcia.
Finally, the Civil Guard arrested the two suspects as alleged perpetrators of a crime against public health, for drug trafficking, and a crime related to the protection of flora, fauna and domestic animals.
The detainees, the drug seized, the effects seized and the proceedings carried out have been made available to the Investigating Court of Totana (Murcia).
