Carabineros’ OS-7 anti-drug unit for Cachapoal detained three people in searches
of four homes in Codegua and San Francisco de Mostazal.[1] Those held were two
men aged 18 and 28 and a woman of 33.[1] Two of the three had criminal records
but no outstanding arrest warrants, and the third had no record, police said.[1] The searches followed a drug-trafficking investigation coordinated with the
O’Higgins prosecutor’s office and were ordered by the Graneros guarantee court.[1] The GOPE special operations group and the 7th Public Order Control station
took part.[1]
Police said they seized marijuana, growing cannabis plants, cocaine
hydrochloride, ketamine and more than a kilo of coca paste packed in 1,699
wrappers and three bags.[1] Officers also took ammunition of various calibres,
an air rifle, an air pistol and 918,200 pesos in cash, along with other items of
interest to the investigation.[1] The three were taken to a control de
detención, a first hearing at which a judge reviews the arrest and decides on
precautionary measures, on Thursday 29 October 2026.[2]
