Guardia Civil stop ‘Tele-cocaine’ operation in Huercal Overa

            The Guardia Civil in Huercal Overa have arrested two people resident in the town for dealing cocaine. The attention of the Guardia Civil was drawn to the unusual number of people from outside the area coming and going from the home of the two suspects. Agents watching the dwelling observed the transit of various people to and from the house, where they stayed only brief periods of time, they also observed the suspects frequently leaving the house for brief periods. The Guardia Civil deduced from the behaviour of those involved that this could be a distribution point for drugs; through the method known here in Spain as ‘Tele-coca’, that is ordering cocaine by telephone calls between the dealers and trusted customers.

            As a result of the investigations, one of the two suspects, identified by the Guardia Civil as Pierre Pablo H.V., was stopped in the street and was found to be in possession of seven wraps of cocaine with a total weight of 5.2 grams and was arrested. His partner, identified as Francy E.D., was arrested while waiting for him outside their home.

            As a result of their arrests a search warrant was granted and in the couple’s home agents found wraps of cocaine ready for sale with a total weight of 20.1 grams, precision scales and 1,800 euros in cash.
