Ferrol intensifies surveillance against drugs traffickers with patrols seven days a week
Police deploy constant operations in Ferrol, the only major city in the northwest with an active network of drug trafficking camps following the dispersal of distributors from Penamoa.
Police operations without respite in Ferrol
According to lavozdegalicia.es, Ferrol is currently the only major city in north-western Spain that maintains an active network of camps dedicated to drug trafficking. Police have intensified their presence with continuous surveillance seven days a week to contain criminal activity in the area.
The dismantling of Penamoa (A Coruña) prompted the displacement of numerous families linked to drug trafficking towards Ferrol, consolidating the city as a new distribution hub. The authorities responded with permanent operations to prevent the establishment of more consolidated trafficking structures.
The strategy of uninterrupted surveillance seeks to deter the installation of camps and dismantle existing networks. Constant patrols in different districts of the city form part of a containment plan against a problem that affects local public safety.
