Civil Guard arrests four over attempted drug smuggling into Murcia prison
The Civil Guard arrested four people after attempting to introduce 100 grammes of cannabis and two mobile phones into Murcia I Penitentiary Centre by throwing them over the perimeter wall.
Operation in Sangonera la Verde
According to El Confidencial, the Civil Guard arrested four people for allegedly attempting to introduce drugs into Murcia I Penitentiary Centre. Officers intercepted them after detecting a car alongside the prison perimeter in Sangonera la Verde.
A security guard noticed via CCTV the moment when the vehicle's occupants got out, approached the wall and threw several packages inside the premises. The packages contained 100 grammes of cannabis and two mobile phones.
Prison security personnel recovered the intercepted packages within the facility. Officers from Murcia's Services Unit deployed surveillance of the vehicle and intercepted it shortly afterwards on the RM-611 road in El Palmar, with all four occupants on board.
The detainees are being charged with an offence against public health for drug trafficking. The Civil Guard is maintaining an open investigation to clarify the facts.
