Two Peruvian citizens were detained after gendarmes found them selling drugs on the streets of the former Villa 1-11-14 in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires.[1] Personnel of Squadron “1-11-14” of the Agrupación “Cinturón Sur”, a grouping of Argentina’s National Gendarmerie, were walking through the Barrio Padre Rodolfo Ricciardelli, the official name of that settlement, when they saw two men selling narcotics at retail on the public street.[1] The Unidad de Flagrancia Oeste ordered both men, both Peruvian nationals, detained and ordered the substances seized, together with other items of interest.[1]

At the scene the gendarmes searched the men and swept the area, and recovered 203 wrappers of a yellow granulated substance, already portioned and ready for sale, that tested positive for pasta base and weighed 55.3 grams.[1] They also counted 29 wrappers of cocaine weighing 9.7 grams and 50 doses of cannabis sativa weighing 186.6 grams.[1] Taken together, the packages were 282 wrappers of cocaine, paste base and marijuana.[1]

The cannabis in the seizure was those 50 street doses of cannabis sativa, kept separate from the paste base and the cocaine found in the same stop.[1]
