The Civil Guard has dismantled a criminal organization dedicated to drug trafficking operating in Alcobendas, Colmenar Viejo, and Tres Cantos, resulting in the arrest of eleven individuals.

The investigation, which began in October 2025, identified a hierarchical structure responsible for the distribution of illicit substances. According to authorities, the group used a property in Alcobendas as an operations center for storing and preparing drugs for retail sale.
During the final phase of the operation, officers conducted six house searches in the aforementioned towns. These raids led to the seizure of 2.8 kilos of cocaine, 430 grams of amphetamine, 40,000 euros in cash, and eight vehicles used by the organization.
The eleven detainees have been brought before the court, facing charges of public health crimes and membership in a criminal group. The judge has ordered provisional prison for the three main leaders of the network.
