The Guardia Civil detained one person in the municipality of Mogán for alleged drug trafficking after officers allegedly caught the person selling hashish in Puerto Rico.[1] Officers were carrying out discreet surveillance in a street in Puerto Rico when the events occurred.[1] After following the vehicle, officers observed an exchange of divided money for a resinous substance, allegedly hashish, in small doses prepared for sale.[1] The alleged buyer voluntarily told officers that he had bought the substance from the detained person moments before the intervention.[1]

Officers seized approximately two grams of suspected hashish in several doses and 110 euros in cash in different bills.[1] The seized drug was placed at the disposal of the judicial authority for expert analysis.[1] The Guardia Civil sent the proceedings, the detained person and the seized effects to the Instruction Section of the San Bartolomé de Tirajana court, which will continue the case.[1]

The action formed part of a specific Guardia Civil operation to detect and dismantle retail drug-selling points and prevent trafficking in areas with many residents and visitors.[1]
