Buenos Aires provincial police arrested 10 people, including the alleged leaders of a drug gang, in 30 simultaneous raids across the north of Greater Buenos Aires and the City of Buenos Aires.[1] Officers seized 500 grams of marijuana buds of several named varieties, stored in jars, along with nine precision scales.[1] The same operation seized 11 kilograms of cocaine hydrochloride, 19 vehicles, firearms and cash.[1]

The raids were carried out on 30 October, according to El Policial.[2] Investigators said the gang’s main territory was San Martín, the northern belt of Greater Buenos Aires and the City of Buenos Aires.[1] Researchers found that buyers handed over money in Villa Corea and collected the drugs in Villa Ballester, moved in bags, backpacks and vehicles fitted out to hide the load.[1] Police said the alleged leader kept running the organisation while in custody and, after his release, personally managed its largest deals.[1] The investigation began in March 2026 and relied on more than 25 tapped phone lines with over 230 hours of recordings, plus drones, GPS trackers and antenna analysis.[1]

The ten suspects were placed at the disposal of the Federal Court of Tres de Febrero, which is investigating offences under narcotics law 23.737 and money laundering.[1] Officers also seized 92,430,200 pesos and 21,550 dollars in cash, three note-counting machines and four safes.[1]
