Argentina police seize cocaine, arrest dozens in nationwide raids
During the last week Argentine police carried out a series of anti‑drug operations across several provinces. In Rosario a raid uncovered a cocaine‑selling bunkered house, leading to the detention of two women and the seizure of cocaine, drug‑use kits and cash. In Villa Tesei police seized more than 200 doses of cocaine, several firearms, cash and a vehicle, arresting four people. A coordinated sweep in Grand Bourg resulted in three men being detained and the confiscation of over 1.7 kg of cocaine, cash and weapons. In El Chañar authorities seized 850 g of cocaine, 192 g of cannabis and arrested six participants. The raid on a kiosk in Río Cuarto uncovered marijuana and led to the arrest of two adults. Across the country, dozens of motorcycles were impounded and more than 35 offenders detained in traffic‑related operations.
In Spain, the Guardia Civil intercepted a 915‑kg hashish shipment near Chiclana, arresting four suspects. The same force disrupted a criminal network that stole drug consignments from other gangs in Granada, detaining eleven members. On the island of Tenerife, police arrested two individuals linked to a series of nighttime robberies of shops and vehicle thefts, seizing weapons and vehicles. These coordinated law‑enforcement actions highlight an intensified crackdown on illicit trafficking and related violent crime in the region.
