Five Family Members Arrested for Selling Drugs Near Schools in Elda

Four men and a woman, all belonging to the same family clan, have been arrested in Elda by the National Police for trafficking narcotics. Among the seized materials were pink cocaine (or 'tusi'), hashish, and 3,200 euros obtained from drug sales.

According to information provided to the police by local residents, the clan's sales point was located near several schools and institutes in the area.

As a result, officers conducted a police operation to monitor the movements of the residents and confirm the activities. During the surveillance, a constant flow of people was observed at various times of the day, including minors from several nearby schools where the illicit activities were conducted by this criminal group. In addition to the investigated residence, a local establishment was also identified as being used for drug sales.

During the operational phase, the court was requested to issue search and entry warrants, resulting in the discovery of 84.23 grams of hashish, pink cocaine 'tusi', marijuana, tools for the commercialisation and distribution of doses, and 3,285 euros from drug sales.

In light of the findings, five individuals, aged between 17 and 58, were arrested as suspected perpetrators of a public health offence. After completing police procedures, the detainees were brought before the Courts of Elda.
