The Civil Guard has dismantled a drug dealing point in a house in Alpedrete, arresting two men who have been sent to provisional prison.

The Civil Guard has dismantled a drug dealing point that operated from a property in Alpedrete. As a result of the operation, two men, aged 31 and 35, have been arrested as alleged perpetrators of a crime against public health. Both have been remanded in provisional custody by judicial order.
The investigation began last March following continuous alerts from several residents about the constant flow of people to the property. Complaints indicated that numerous vehicles regularly parked in front of the house, even obstructing access to the urbanization.
The inquiries allowed officers to identify the two suspects and determine their roles within the criminal activity. One of them maintained a high standard of living, using several high-end vehicles that he concealed in a rented industrial unit to avoid detection. The second detainee was allegedly responsible for guarding the dealing point, storing the drugs, and distributing them to buyers.
After gathering sufficient evidence, the Civil Guard conducted searches at both the investigated property and the industrial unit linked to the operation. During the raids, officers seized approximately 70 grams of cocaine, 40 grams of hashish, over 3,000 euros in cash, a vehicle, and various documents related to the illicit activity.
Among the seized materials were accounting records of sales made, which indicated earnings close to 50,000 euros during the first four months of the year.
