Four people have been arrested after Guardia Civil officers seized almost 3.5kg of cocaine, guns and bulletproof vests during raids in Jimena de la Frontera and Secadero.
Two other people are under investigation following Operation Winky, which targeted a suspected network supplying street dealers across the Campo de Gibraltar.
Officers searched several properties on the morning of November 8, recovering €4,610 in cash, a .357 Magnum revolver and a 12-gauge repeating shotgun.
They also found five precision scales, equipment used to cut and prepare drugs, and three mobile phones that investigators are examining.
The raids followed several months of surveillance led by investigators from the Guardia Civil’s San Roque station.
Police say the properties were used to store and prepare cocaine before distributing it to local sales points.
Investigators reported a steady flow of people and vehicles at the addresses and believe members divided responsibilities and took precautions to avoid detection.
San Roque’s Court No. 3 authorised the searches.
The six suspects are being investigated over alleged drug trafficking, membership of a criminal organisation and unlawful possession of firearms.
