SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, 20 May. (EUROPE PRESS) –

The National Police has dismantled a criminal organization that operated mainly in the northern area of ​​Tenerife and that under the name ‘Operation Calixto’ has resulted in the arrest of 13 people and the intervention of more than 12,500 euros in cash, 36 kilograms of hashish, 700 grams of cocaine, 800 grams of marijuana, six cars and three motorcycles.

The investigation began in mid-2021 when the agents, after consulting and contrasting the data offered by different sources of information, concluded that an organization dedicated to drug trafficking operated in the north of the island of Tenerife.

As the investigation progressed, they learned that the organization, although it acted mainly in that area, extended its action to the entire province.

The ‘modus operandi’ used by its members differed from that observed in classic pyramidal criminal organizations since its members acted as independent cells.

Thus, the Police details in a note, “each one obtained and sold drugs based on the reserves they had and in this way they showed a certain autonomy and initiative.”

The exploitation of the operation involved the development of a complex device in which different units of the National Police and the Unit of Canine Guides of the Local Police of Santa Cruz de Tenerife participated.

Five of the detainees, after being placed at the disposal of the competent judicial authority, entered prison.

The investigation of the National Police has been coordinated with the Court of Instruction Number 5 of La Orotava and the Anti-Drug Prosecutor of the Provincial Court of Tenerife.

The actions have been carried out by national police of the UDYCO-Organized Crime of the Provincial Police Station of the National Police of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
