Drug trafficking gang dismantled in Madrid with eleven arrests and nearly three kilos of cocaine
A Guardia Civil operation has ended an organisation trafficking drugs in the north of the Madrid Region. The operation resulted in eleven people being arrested and a significant haul being seized: 2.8 kilos of cocaine, 430 grammes of amphetamines and €40,000 in cash.
It all began in October 2025, when officers received information about a group that regularly distributed illicit substances in the area. After months of surveillance, they confirmed that it was a network with a clear pyramidal structure. At the top was the leader, who controlled supply alongside his right-hand man and another close collaborator.
Members at the base of the pyramid were dedicated to preparing, distributing and selling drugs directly on the street. To manage all the logistics, the gang used a house in Alcobendas as a storage point and laboratory, where they prepared the merchandise for retail sale.
The final operation was carried out with six simultaneous raids on properties in Alcobendas, Colmenar Viejo and Tres Cantos. In addition to the narcotics and money, investigators seized eight cars and abundant material for cutting and distribution.
After being arrested, the eleven people involved were brought before the judicial authorities. They are alleged to have committed offences against public health and participation in a criminal organisation. The three ringleaders were remanded in custody.
