The Civil Guard has introduced Amy, a specialized dog trained to detect cash, who will serve at the La Farga de Moles customs office in the Alt Urgell region.

With Amy's arrival, there are now four trained dogs from the Cynological Service working across the Lleida province. This move aims to enhance security and financial controls at the strategic border point with Andorra.

"The incorporation of specialized means, such as cynological teams, reinforces the work of control and surveillance in strategic points like the Farga customs."
