The recognition, sent from Madrid by the Central UDYCO, highlights the involvement of Mijas agents in an operation that culminated in the capture of a British citizen. This individual was subject to an International Arrest Warrant for alleged involvement in drug trafficking.
The official communication details that the fugitive had been in hiding since 2022, using multiple false identities to evade authorities. The intervention of the Mijas Local Police was crucial for his location, described as "decisive for the success of the operation".
“"This recognition demonstrates the level of professionalism of our Local Police, which works in coordination with other forces in highly complex operations."
Cuevas emphasized that Mijas agents are trained to operate beyond the municipal scope, effectively integrating into national and international operations. He underscored the importance of collaboration between different security forces to combat organized crime, citing this case as a clear example of such coordination.
Finally, the councillor extended his congratulations to all personnel involved in the operation, noting that their work is "a source of pride for the entire municipality" and that such recognitions reinforce the municipal commitment to security.
