The Policía Local de Ibiza has reported 14 infractions following a night-time safety operation focused on road traffic, illegal passenger transport and compliance with municipal regulations.

Among the most serious cases were one driver investigated for a potential criminal drink-driving offence, another sanctioned administratively for alcohol, and two drivers who tested positive for drugs.

The operation was carried out by the fourth shift of the Ibiza Local Police as part of its efforts to address risky behaviour on the roads.

One Driver Investigated for Drink-Driving

Police identified one driver whose alcohol level exceeded the threshold considered to have potential criminal significance under Spanish road-safety legislation.

The driver is being investigated for an alleged offence against road safety.

Because the case is being treated as a potential criminal offence, it is different from an administrative drink-driving sanction.

A second driver was also sanctioned during the operation for an administrative alcohol offence.

Two Drivers Test Positive for Drugs

Police also detected two positive results in drug screening tests carried out during the operation.

The Noudiari report does not specify the substances detected in these two cases.

The results form part of the traffic-related offences recorded during the night-time operation.

14 Reports in Total

The four most serious traffic-related cases formed part of a wider total of 14 reports issued during the operation.

Police recorded:

• One driver investigated for a potentially criminal drink-driving offence

• One administrative drink-driving sanction

• Two positive drug tests

• Six other traffic offences

• Two breaches of municipal ordinances

• One report for possession of narcotic substances in a public place

• One complaint relating to irregular passenger transport activity

The municipal tow service also removed and impounded two vehicles.

Action Against Illegal Passenger Transport

The operation was not limited to drink-driving and drug checks.

Police also detected a case of professional transport activity allegedly being carried out irregularly, resulting in a report for professional intrusion into the regulated passenger-transport sector.

This formed part of the wider police operation targeting different types of non-compliance in Ibiza.

Cooperation With the Consell de Ibiza

The Policía Local also worked alongside the Consell de Ibiza's inspection service during a specific transport-related control.

The coordinated operation resulted in the immobilisation of a vehicle in the street after island inspectors determined that it was not complying with the requirements of Ibiza's regulations governing the entry of vehicles onto the island.

A Broader Road-Safety Operation

The operation demonstrates that Ibiza's municipal police are combining several types of enforcement during night-time controls.

Alongside checking for alcohol and drugs, officers are also monitoring traffic offences, municipal regulations and irregular transport activities.

The approach is designed to address different forms of behaviour that can affect road safety and public order.

The Importance of Night-Time Controls

Alcohol and drug testing is particularly relevant during night-time operations, when traffic patterns and nightlife activity can increase the risk of dangerous driving.

In this case, police identified several offences during a single operation, including a case serious enough to be investigated as a potential criminal road-safety offence.

However, the reported results should be understood as police findings and administrative or investigative proceedings, rather than criminal convictions.

The driver investigated for the potential criminal offence has not been convicted simply because the police have opened an investigation.

Ibiza Continues Traffic Enforcement

The latest operation forms part of the ongoing work of the Policía Local de Ibiza to monitor road safety and other municipal regulations.

With the island's summer season bringing increased traffic and nightlife activity, night-time controls remain an important part of local enforcement.

The latest operation resulted in 14 reports and two vehicles being taken to the municipal depot, with drink-driving, drug testing and irregular passenger transport among the issues detected.
