Four Drug Houses of the Same Family Clan Dismantled in Madrid: Seven Arrested in Two Operations
The National and Municipal Police in Madrid dismantled four drug houses, arresting seven individuals linked to a family clan involved in drug trafficking.
The joint operation by the National and Municipal Police in Madrid resulted in the dismantling of four drug houses, or 'narcopisos', located in the districts of Puente de Vallecas and Centro. Seven individuals were arrested for public health offenses, highlighting the efforts made against organized drug trafficking in the area. The operation was particularly focused on a family clan that operated these locations in a structured manner, distinguishing clear roles among its members.
Specifically, in Puente de Vallecas, three of the drug houses were raided, leading to the arrest of two men and two women. The authorities seized a significant quantity of illegal substances during the raids, including 800 marijuana plants, cocaine, and heroin, as well as various firearms. This reflects a larger trend of increasing law enforcement initiatives targeting drug-related crimes in urban areas of Spain, particularly in Madrid where drug trafficking has become a pressing issue.
The operations took place on February 10, following extensive police investigations that revealed drug sales occurring around various residential properties. These actions not only aim to address the immediate issue of drug trafficking but also signal a broader commitment to public health and safety in the community. By dismantling these organized networks, law enforcement seeks to disrupt the supply lines of controlled substances and mitigate their impact on local populations.
