Three people have been arrested in Sant Antoni de Portmany following a Guardia Civil operation that uncovered two alleged drug sales points supplying tourists.
The operation, known as ‘Corsair Bal’, involved two searches at properties in Sant Antoni. According to the Guardia Civil, officers arrested two men and one woman, all British nationals, on suspicion of drug trafficking and membership of a criminal organisation.
Drugs and Other Substances Seized
During the searches, officers seized a range of substances allegedly prepared for distribution.
The haul included:
- 68 individual bags of tusi
- 16 bags of cocaine
- 14 bags of ketamine
- 8 bags of MDMA
- More than 28 grams of ecstasy tablets
- 98 bottles of nitrous oxide
- 70 chocolate bars containing psychotropic substances
Police also found equipment allegedly used for weighing, preparing and dividing substances into individual doses.
In addition, officers seized €6,670 and £2,050 in cash during the searches.
Two Points Allegedly Supplying Tourists
According to the Guardia Civil, the two properties were operating as active points for the sale of drugs, with their activity directed primarily towards supplying tourists visiting Sant Antoni.
The operation forms part of ongoing efforts by authorities to tackle drug distribution in Ibiza's major tourist areas, particularly during the busy summer season.
Three People Taken Before the Judicial Authority
The three suspects were arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking and belonging to a criminal organisation.
Following their arrests, they were brought before the competent judicial authority. The allegations remain subject to the judicial process.
A Busy Summer for Drug Enforcement in Ibiza
The operation comes during one of the busiest periods of the Ibiza tourism season, when Sant Antoni welcomes large numbers of international visitors.
Authorities have continued to carry out operations against drug trafficking and the distribution of illegal substances across the island throughout the summer.
The latest case highlights the continued police focus on drug sales aimed at visitors in Ibiza's nightlife destinations, while also drawing attention to the range of substances being intercepted.
For visitors to Ibiza, the Guardia Civil continues to remind the public that the possession, sale and distribution of illegal drugs can result in criminal proceedings.
