The Mossos d'Esquadra arrested a 60-year-old woman in Palafrugell on February 18 for allegedly running a highly active cocaine and hashish sales point from her home.

The investigation by the la Bisbal d'Empordà police station began following citizen reports of constant foot traffic at a property on Palamós street. Officers confirmed the apartment was being used for drug trafficking after observing frequent short visits by suspected buyers.
During the raid, police seized 70 grams of cocaine, 100 grams of hashish, and precision scales. They also discovered a ledger recording sales, handgun magazines, and a compressed air pistol. The suspect already had a prior criminal record.
The site also functioned as a hub for stolen property, which was often traded for drugs. Recovered items included jewelry, laptops stolen in Palafrugell, and a bicycle recently taken from a school in Pals, all of which have been returned to their owners.
