Two held after police raid house used for drug sales

Police have arrested two people after raiding a house in Algeciras that investigators believe was being used to sell drugs in small amounts.

Officers seized 386 grams of cocaine and 885 grams of hashish during the search, along with numerous prepared doses allegedly ready for sale, according to police.

Signs of a drug point

Investigators said they had been monitoring the property after noticing a steady stream of visitors who went in and out within minutes, a pattern they say matched the way small-scale drug points often operate.

The search was carried out after the inquiry gathered enough evidence to identify the dwelling as a suspected sales point for narcotics.

Police said the two residents were detained as suspected offenders against public health.

Part of wider anti-drugs patrols

The operation forms part of ongoing National Police activity in Algeciras and the Campo de Gibraltar aimed at disrupting street-level drug dealing and the related crime it can bring to neighbourhoods.

The force said the intervention is one of a series of targeted actions designed to reduce the visibility of local drug sales points and improve public safety in the area.
