The National Police has dismantled an active cocaine dealing point in the Santa Clara neighborhood of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, leading to two arrests and the seizure of drugs and cash.

The investigation began after the detection of a location where narcotic substances, specifically cocaine, were being sold. Two individuals were allegedly engaged in this illicit activity from their residence.
Police inquiries revealed a constant flow of people visiting the investigated properties, many carrying cash and leaving the premises with the purchased substances.
With proper judicial authorization, the homes were searched, leading to the arrest of the two individuals involved and the seizure of 123 grams of cocaine, one gram of hashish, and 0.6 grams of crack, in addition to 3,310 euros in cash.
The detainees have been charged with drug trafficking and handed over to the competent judicial authority, which ordered the imprisonment of one of them.
