The Guardia Civil is investigating a married couple from Ponteareas, in
Pontevedra, aged 69 and 56, over suspected retail drug sales, treated as an
offence against public health.[1][2] The couple are neighbours of the town, and
the force described them as suspected authors of that offence.[3] The work was
aimed at street dealing in the town centre and at the alarm that trade was said
to cause.[3] On 27 October 2026, officers on surveillance identified the pair
because there were signs they were involved in drug trafficking.[3]
A search of their belongings found several individual doses of cocaine and
heroin and a small amount of hashish, cannabis resin, which officers said
appeared prepared for sale to consumers.[4][2] They also seized about 615 euros
in cash, in notes of different values.[3] The Guardia Civil said that money
might have come from selling drugs.[1][2]
Both were placed under investigation for an offence against public health, the
drugs and the cash were seized, and the file was sent to the duty civil and
investigative section of the Tribunal de Instancia in Ponteareas.[1][2]
