Two friends arrested with thousands of drug doses in Olaias area, Lisbon

Two young childhood friends were arrested by the Public Security Police (PSP) in the Olaias area of Lisbon, following a preventative policing operation. The two women were in possession of thousands of drug doses. After being brought before a court, they were remanded in custody, as reported by Correio da Manhã.

The arrest took place during a routine PSP operation in that area of the capital. The authorities seized the narcotic substance that the suspects were carrying, in a significant quantity amounting to several thousand individual doses.

The two detainees, who had known each other since childhood, were subsequently brought before a court. The court imposed the most serious coercive measure, determining that both would be held in preventative custody.

The case is now being investigated by the competent authorities, who are continuing their work to determine the origin of the drugs and possible connections to wider trafficking networks in the Lisbon region.
