Two men aged 23 and 24 were detained on Thursday in the Capital after attempting to evade a police control whilst aboard a Ford Fiesta, according to tiempodesanjuan.com. During the procedure, officers found ketamine, ecstasy and cannabis among their possessions.
The operation was carried out by the Bicycle Police and took place at the intersection of Entre Ríos and 9 de Julio streets. The uniformed officers attempted to identify the vehicle's occupants, which was travelling down Mendoza street towards the south, but the driver ignored police signals and continued along 9 de Julio until being intercepted.
Once detained, the officers interviewed the driver, identified as Cerdera, 23 years old, who was travelling with Navarro, 24. According to the official report, Cerdera maintained an erratic and hostile attitude, and admitted to police that they were transporting narcotics, handing over the substances at the request of the officers.
Personnel from the Illegal Drugs unit intervened to carry out the corresponding field tests. The analyses returned positive results and identified ketamine, a rock of ecstasy and plant material compatible with cannabis.
The details of the seizure recorded by the police force included 9 grammes of ketamine, one gramme of ecstasy and 20 grammes of cannabis, in addition to a bag containing another plant substance with a strong odour.
The items were seized and the case was transferred to the Federal Fiscal Unit of San Juan, which assumed the corresponding proceedings for the case.
