The Civil Guard of the Region of Murcia and the Local Police of Lorca, thanks to the collaboration of citizens and within the framework of the services established to prevent and prosecute drug trafficking, has developed the operation ‘ORANGINAS’, which has resulted in the arrest of a person who ran a retail cocaine point of sale at his home, located in the Lorca municipality of Tercia, which is allegedly responsible for the crime of drug trafficking.

The registration of the property has been settled with the seizure of 10 grams of cocaine, useful for dosing and sale, several phones and mobile phone cards, 800 euros and a tourism.

Citizen collaboration

Thanks to the collaboration of citizens, the Local Police of Lorca was warned of the habitual presence of people in the vicinity of a house, which made us suspect the possible existence of a point of sale of drugs at retail.

Thus, last September, the Civil Guard and Local Police of Lorca began a joint investigation of the home and its residents, one of whom had a history of drug trafficking and lacked work or other means of living to survive.

For two months, researchers have made numerous inquiries that have allowed to relate to the owner of the house with the distribution of narcotic substances, mainly cocaine to consumers in the area.

Once sufficient evidence has been obtained, the agents have requested the corresponding entry and registration order from the judicial authority.
