The Galician network that turned drones into cocaine dealers: ends with 10 arrests in a Civil Guard operation

Spanish authorities have dismantled a drug trafficking network operating in Noia, Galicia, resulting in the arrest of 10 individuals. The operation, conducted by the Guardia Civil, targeted three retail drug distribution points in the municipality. Investigators identified that the criminal group utilized drones to facilitate the delivery of narcotics to customers.

The operation highlights an evolving trend in local drug distribution methods within the region. While the scale of the operation was not defined by large quantities of seized substances, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles to conduct small-scale drug deliveries marks a notable development in the tactics employed by local trafficking networks.
