Man arrested in Palma with nearly 30 kilos of nitrous oxide ('laughing gas')
Officers from the National Police have arrested an individual in Palma de Mallorca who was transporting a significant quantity of nitrous oxide, a substance colloquially known as 'laughing gas'. Nearly thirty kilograms of the product were seized in the operation.
According to Europa Press, the intervention is part of the routine controls carried out by the police force against the trafficking of substances of abuse in festive and nightlife settings.
Nitrous oxide is a substance that, when inhaled, produces short-duration psychoactive effects. Its sale and distribution for human consumption is regulated in Spain, as its recreational use can pose health risks, including neurological damage in cases of prolonged abuse.
The arrested person was placed at the disposal of the competent judicial authority, which must determine their legal status. The investigation remains open to clarify the origin of the merchandise and whether there was a distribution network behind the operation.
