The National Police has dismantled an active drug dealing point in the Torresoto neighborhood of Jerez de la Frontera, leading to the arrest of four individuals and the seizure of various narcotics and cash.

The operation, named Cerrillo II, culminated with simultaneous raids on two properties in the area. This coordinated action was crucial to prevent the destruction of evidence and illicit substances by the investigated parties, according to police sources.
During the searches, officers located the four alleged perpetrators of the illicit activity. They seized two hundred and two doses of heroin, fifty-four of cocaine, 113 grams of hashish, 784.29 grams of marijuana, 19 grams of cutting agents, as well as bladed weapons, drug manipulation tools, and 828 euros in cash.
The detainees are two men and two women, aged between 29 and 51 years. All of them have previous records for similar offenses against public health. Notably, two of those arrested had already been intercepted six months ago by the Narcotics Group of the Jerez Police Station for running another dealing point in the same neighborhood.
Following the relevant proceedings, two of the individuals were immediately remanded in custody, while the other two were released with charges. This intervention is part of the National Police's strategy to combat drug trafficking in the province of Cádiz, adding to other recent operations in the region.
