The Mossos d'Esquadra launched a new operation against drug trafficking in the center of Figueres this Wednesday, March 25, focusing on a residential building on Col·legi Street.

Police officers entered the property at number 3 Col·legi Street early in the morning following a judicial order. The operation required closing one of the busiest streets in the capital of Alt Empordà to traffic.
According to municipal sources, the raid is part of an ongoing investigation into drug distribution. This action follows a major crackdown yesterday in the western districts of Figueres.
Yesterday's large-scale operation resulted in nine arrests targeting a criminal network smuggling drugs between Catalonia and France. Authorities continue to target local distribution points within the city.
