A 69-year-old man, a resident of El Sauzal, has been arrested in Tenerife for an alleged crime against public health, specifically drug trafficking.

Agents of the Civil Guard, belonging to the main post in Tacoronte, carried out the arrest. The events occurred while the agents were on duty near a restaurant. They observed an individual with suspicious behavior who, minutes later, approached another person to conduct a transaction that appeared to be of a narcotic substance.
The agents proceeded to intercept the buyer, confirming it was a narcotic substance, presumably cocaine. Immediately afterward, they arrested the alleged seller. The individual was found in possession of seven small packages containing the supposed drug, 460 euros in cash, and a detailed list of sales made.

"The detainee, along with the compiled proceedings, has been placed at the disposal of the competent Judicial Authority."
