Three people have been arrested after the Guardia Civil dismantled two suspected drug dealing operations in the municipality of La Oliva, including a 24-hour crack distribution point in Corralejo that allegedly used electric scooters to deliver drugs to customers.

The raids took place in Corralejo and Tindaya following separate investigations into suspected street-level drug dealing. Officers say the operations have shut down two active supply points that had been serving local drug users.

The first investigation focused on an isolated, makeshift wooden hut in Corralejo after police received reports of a busy drug-selling location. Surveillance confirmed a steady flow of customers visiting the site throughout the day and night.

According to investigators, two local men took turns running the operation around the clock, earning it the nickname "the supermarket" among regular customers. Police say they also accepted orders by telephone and used electric scooters to deliver drugs to leisure areas around Corralejo in an attempt to avoid detection.

Officers later carried out a raid on the hut, which had been divided into a reception area for customers and a second room where crack cocaine was allegedly prepared and stored. Both suspects were arrested during the operation.

During the search, the Guardia Civil seized 13 doses of crack cocaine, three grams of cocaine, 48 grams of hashish, 24 grams of cannabis packaged for sale and a cannabis cigarette ready for distribution. They also recovered large quantities of diazepam and alprazolam tablets, baking soda believed to be used for cutting drugs, precision scales, an electric hotplate, preparation equipment, three electric scooters and €110 in cash.

At the same time, officers were investigating a second suspected drug dealing operation at a property in Tindaya. The month-long investigation centred on a 68-year-old man who police believe attempted to avoid suspicion by using his age and local reputation as cover while allegedly selling drugs from his home.
