First thing this morning, the Guardia Civil's criminal police launched a drugs operation in Sa Pobla. Some one hundred officers from across the island were involved, as were police dog units and the Guardia's helicopter.
Ten properties were raided, more than a dozen people were arrested and sales points for drugs were closed down. Those arrested are said to be of Maghreb origin.
A large quantity of drugs - cocaine and cannabis - was seized. The operation remains open.
