Mogan Local Police arrested two men in Taurito over the alleged sale of drugs to a 14-year-old boy.[1] Officers said they watched one man hand the buyer a wrapper of apparent marijuana while the second man took part in the deal and received the money.[1] After confirming the buyer was 14, officers located his legal guardian so the procedures could be carried out in the guardian’s presence.[1] A search recovered the bag of suspected marijuana and a grinder holding a brown resinous substance believed to be hashish or pollen.[1]
The intervention took place on 6 November, and a canine-unit dog later helped locate more substances hidden in a palm tree.[1] In the palm tree officers found five heat-sealed wraps of suspected cocaine, four pieces of apparent hashish or pollen and two zip bags of suspected marijuana.[1] Officers also seized 260 euros in cash from one of the detainees.[1] Both men were arrested as alleged perpetrators of a crime against public health.[1] After the reports were prepared, they were transferred to the Guardia Civil post in Puerto Rico.[1]
Mogan Local Police said it maintains such surveillance operations to prevent street-level dealing and protect residents and visitors.[1]
The two outlets agree the scene was a sale in Taurito on 6 November where officers surprised the suspects during the transaction.[2]
The second outlet independently confirms that 260 euros in cash was seized from one of those arrested.[2]
