Police make drugs arrest

OFFICERS from the Guardia Civil have arrested a man suspected of selling marijuana and a second person for possession.

The 20-year-old man, MGG, was arrested in Canjayar after officers observed three people at the Mirador de Almocita tourist attraction behaving suspiciously. As the officers approached, the man allegedly threw his backpack over the edge of the cliff. Once the backpack was retrieved, police officers found marijuana, scissors, plastic bags and precision scales inside.

A bag of marijuana was also found on the floor next to one of the three people the officers had been observing.

The two arrested individuals, along with the case details, have been passed to the magistrates’ court in Almeria.
