Four Arrested as Guardia Civil Dismantles Three Alleged Drug Distribution Points in Sant Antoni

September 18, 2026

Four men have been arrested in Sant Antoni de Portmany on suspicion of drug trafficking after the Guardia Civil carried out simultaneous searches of three homes in a central building in the town.

The operation, known as SATOR1, took place on September 15 and involved officers from the Guardia Civil post in Sant Antoni, supported by the Reserve and Security Group (GRS) and the Canine Service.

According to the Guardia Civil, the three properties were being used as points for the distribution of narcotic substances.

Four Men Arrested

The four detainees are men of Senegalese nationality.

The Guardia Civil describes them as alleged perpetrators of a drug-trafficking offence. As the investigation concerns alleged criminal activity, the arrests do not constitute a finding of guilt.

The operation resulted in the dismantling of three alleged retail drug distribution points in Sant Antoni, according to the Guardia Civil.

Drugs Seized

During the searches, officers seized what the Guardia Civil described as significant quantities of different substances prepared for distribution.

The reported seizures were:

  • 2,000 ecstasy tablets

  • 240 grams of ketamine

  • 227 grams of marijuana

  • 120 grams of hashish

  • 110 grams of MDMA

  • 43 bottles of nitrous oxide

More than €30,000 in cash was also seized, along with multiple mobile phones that authorities described as being of illicit origin.

Searches in Central Sant Antoni

The searches were carried out simultaneously in three homes located within the same central building.

The involvement of the GRS and the Guardia Civil's Canine Service formed part of the operation, which was carried out by the Sant Antoni post.

The investigation focused on alleged retail-level distribution of drugs in the municipality.

Guardia Civil to Maintain Surveillance

Following the operation, the Guardia Civil said it would maintain surveillance and intervention measures in the area.

The stated objective is to continue tackling drug trafficking and support public safety in Sant Antoni.

The operation is part of ongoing police activity targeting drug distribution on Ibiza, where authorities have carried out several investigations involving alleged sales of drugs to residents and visitors during the 2026 season.

Investigation Continues

The four men remain described as suspects in connection with the alleged drug-trafficking offence.

The quantities and substances listed in this report are those announced by the Guardia Civil following the September 15 searches. Their seizure does not, by itself, establish criminal responsibility, which will be determined through the appropriate judicial process.

The SATOR1 operation has resulted in four arrests and the reported dismantling of three alleged drug distribution points in central Sant Antoni.
