The Mossos d'Esquadra and Local Police arrested a 42-year-old man in Esparreguera last Wednesday, February 11, on charges of crimes against public health.

The operation was triggered by neighbor complaints regarding a local bar known for conflicts and suspected drug sales. Officers from Martorell and the Metropolitan South region conducted a full inspection of the premises to identify and search individuals present at the scene.
During the search, police found several wraps of cocaine and a significant amount of cash. The suspect, who had no prior criminal record, was taken into custody and later appeared before the Martorell duty court.
The raid also resulted in several administrative citations for violations of consumer regulations and the Public Performances Act. Specialized units, including the K9 Unit and ARRO, participated in the coordinated action.
