PalmThe joint operation between the National Police and the Palma Local Police carried out last Thursday in Son Gotleu resulted in three arrests, 70 people identified, and 64 fines. Around 7:30 p.m., dozens of officers deployed to an area where several incidents had recently occurred and inspected two establishments and several vehicles. According to the police, in one of the inspected establishments, a man was arrested after being found with 16 packets of heroin hidden under a cap and in his trousers, as well as cash. In another establishment, a man was arrested who, upon noticing the police presence, went to the bathroom to try to dispose of nine bags of cocaine. The third person arrested was a man with a restraining order against his partner, with whom he was inside a bar.

In addition, 70 people were identified in the area cordoned off by the officers, and 64 administrative citations were issued. Thirteen of these were for drug possession and one for possession of a firearm. Of the remaining citations, five were issued to establishments that failed to display their licenses, lacked a technical project plan, or had sound systems exceeding the permitted decibel level. There were also four citations for vehicles operating without insurance; 17 for expired vehicle inspections; and 14 for traffic violations. Four of the vehicles were impounded. Furthermore, several individuals were cited for street vending. The operation involved 60 officers from both police forces.
