Two Spanish women aged 29 and 49 were detained in Alicante after police uncovered two illegal drug operations described as narco floors within buildings in the Carolinas neighborhood. The arrests followed intelligence collected by patrols focused on community safety and drug activity known to draw regular visitors who purchase narcotics daily.
Nearby residents and local shopkeepers had noticed a steady stream of people moving in and out of these buildings at all hours. They reported frequent transactions and a high level of foot traffic associated with substance use and exchange. The pattern of activity led to growing concerns among neighbors who repeatedly raised their complaints with law enforcement, seeking disruption of the illegal activities and protection for the community.
In the neighborhood, surveillance teams established a visible security presence around the suspect locations. The officers identified dozens of individuals who went to the residences with the intent to purchase drugs. The substances reportedly involved included cocaine, marijuana, and even heroin. The scale of activity indicated a coordinated operation rather than isolated incidents, prompting further action by the authorities.
The investigation progressed with the collection of evidence aimed at identifying those responsible for managing the drug locations. Based on the gathered material, the National Police executed warrants and conducted searches at the homes of the two detainees. The searches yielded approximately five grams of heroin, a total of 915 euros in banknotes, and a precision scale used for weighing drugs. These items were seized as part of the evidentiary basis for the case.
The detainees provided statements at the police station and subsequently filed a criminal complaint during the unfolding proceedings. The operation involved the Forensic Police and the Provincial Police Station, along with the Alicante Central Area Citizen Security agents, underscoring a coordinated, multi-agency effort to address ongoing public safety concerns in the Carolinas district.
The case highlights how local authorities monitor suspicious activity in residential settings and respond with targeted investigations, evidence collection, and coordinated arrests designed to disrupt drug distribution chains in urban neighborhoods. Community members are encouraged to report suspicious behavior to help safeguard neighborhoods and support ongoing policing efforts in Alicante.
