Drug dealing flat dismantled in Son Gotleu (Palma) with customer queue and price signs
The National Police dismantled a drug selling point in a Son Gotleu flat with a counter, price signs and up to six consumers waiting in queue.
Drug dealing flat in Palma operated with counter and price list in plain view
A flat in the Son Gotleu neighbourhood in Palma functioned as a drug dealing point with an open door, a counter manned by two people, and various price signs hung on the wall displaying the prices of different substances. According to Google News ES — Crime (es), a National Police patrol surprised the scene during the early hours of Wednesday and arrested three people.
Officers from the Citizens' Assistance Group detected unusual movement of people at the entrance to a building whilst conducting a surveillance patrol through Son Gotleu's streets. They maintained discreet observation for several minutes: the flow was constant, with people entering and leaving without pause. They then decided to access the building.
The trafficking was so intense that no one noticed their presence. When they arrived at the flat, they found about half a dozen consumers waiting in queue in front of the open door, as if it were a bakery, according to the National Police's own description. Inside, a man was counting money behind the counter whilst another handled the drugs. The signs with the price of each substance hung visibly above them.
At that moment, a young man had just bought a wrap of cocaine, which was immediately seized from him. In another room in the flat, set up specifically for consumption, two other people were found.
During the search, officers seized 200 grammes of cocaine and crack cocaine, 113 individual doses of hashish and 102 of cannabis, all of them already packaged and prepared for sale. They also found various medications, cash, materials for making wraps, scales and a notebook with accounting notes.
The volume of material seized and the organisation of the premises point to a very active dealing point that, according to the police, presumably distributed hundreds of doses daily of different narcotic substances.
The officers arrested the two men who allegedly ran the operation. One of the buyers was also detained, who upon being identified turned out to have two outstanding court orders against him.
