The National Police have arrested a man in Agüimes as the alleged perpetrator of a drug trafficking offense, following an investigation carried out by the Narcotics Unit of the Telde Local Police Station.

 

The incident occurred on July 4, 2025, when officers became aware of the events after receiving numerous complaints from residents alerting them to the existence of a drug sales point inside a community center located in an apartment building in Cruce de Arinaga, in the municipality of Agüimes.

 

Once the information was verified, surveillance and monitoring of the suspect was initiated, which allowed for the gathering of objective evidence of his involvement in the criminal activity. Agents were able to verify several drug transactions through seizure reports, which confirmed his involvement in the crime.

 

At the time of the operation, the perpetrator was arrested, and 16.100 grams of cocaine, 138 grams of crystal meth, 2.630 grams of hashish pollen, 1.038 grams of hashish, two precision scales, and various materials used for weighing and packaging the drugs were seized. A sum of €84.205 in cash was also found.

 

Once the police investigation was completed, the detainee was handed over to the competent judicial authority, which ordered his remand in custody.
