Joint operation in Puerto Rico, Mogán: two arrested on judicial warrants
The Local Police of Mogán, the Civil Guard and the Canary Islands Police deployed a joint operation on Saturday, 17 October at the Puerto Rico and Europa shopping centres, resulting in two detentions of individuals against whom search and arrest warrants had been issued. According to maspalomasnews.com, the operation mobilised more than 50 officers from the three police forces and Labour Inspectors.
The intervention was carried out simultaneously at both complexes in the Puerto Rico tourist area. The objectives of the operation included strengthening public safety, combating street-level drug trafficking and monitoring possible administrative breaches.
During the operation, seven establishments were inspected. The inspections were aimed at detecting activities related to drug trafficking, breaches of labour regulations and other offences. The presence of Labour Inspectors allowed for the supervision of labour obligations in the premises reviewed.
As a result of the inspections, numerous reports were drawn up for breaches detected, including labour infringements and possession of narcotic substances. The available information does not specify the total number of reports or detail the substances or quantities seized.
The two arrests carried out were based exclusively on judicial search and arrest warrants. There has been no indication that those arrested were related to the breaches detected in the inspected establishments.
The operation included public safety units and canine units from the three forces, as well as drone teams from the Local Police of Mogán and the Canary Islands Police. The Fiscal and Border Patrol of the Civil Guard also participated.
The Head of the Local Police of Mogán highlighted the coordination between the forces and the administrations involved, noting that this collaboration allows for the optimisation of resources and strengthens the capacity to act against behaviour that affects public safety, coexistence and compliance with the law.
Joint operations of this nature will continue to be carried out periodically at different locations throughout the municipality of Mogán.
