The Guardia Civil has arrested a 42-year-old man from Bilbao as the perpetrator of a crime against public health for drug trafficking after being identified with 40 kilos of speed on the dashboard of his vehicle. He was intercepted during a preventive citizen security control on the AP15 motorway at the Zuasti tollbooth, in Navarra, days before the San Fermín festivities.
It was the Citizen Security Unit (USECIC) of the Guardia Civil in the Foral Community of Navarra who, as part of its preventive work to prevent criminal acts, stopped a vehicle at a citizen security control.
When asked where he was going, the driver showed some nervousness that made the agents suspicious. An inspection was carried out on the vehicle with a dog from the Cynological Service, named FOX, who was present in the device and which marked the presence of narcotic substances on the vehicle’s dashboard.
The agents carried out an inspection, in which they located an access to a double bottom or “cove” (hiding places used to transport drugs) where the detainee was transporting 20 packages of approximately two kilograms of speed each, which yielded a total weight of 40 kilos.
Due to these events, a man was brought before the courts, as the alleged perpetrator of a crime against public health (drug trafficking) and the intervention of 40 kg of speed ready for distribution and sale, in addition to the vehicle he was using to transport it.
In this case, the Organic Unit of the Judicial Police (UOPJ) of the Guardia Civil of Navarra took charge of investigating the corresponding proceedings and forwarding them to Court number 4 of Pamplona, in charge of the case and who ordered the imprisonment of the arrested.
