The Police of Investigations' (PDI) Micro-trafficking Zero team has successfully dismantled three drug dealing hubs in the La Pintana commune. The operation led to the arrest of three women involved in drug trafficking.
These drug points were located within the Colombia and Eucaliptus neighborhoods. They served as collection and distribution centers for illicit substances. The properties were notably fortified, featuring reinforced steel, multiple locks, and even double doors designed to impede police entry.
The successful operation was the result of an investigation that began with information gathered through public cooperation. Detectives employed investigative techniques such as surveillance and tracking to build their case before executing the raid.
This action by the PDI aims to combat drug trafficking and enhance security in the La Pintana commune, addressing the challenges posed by organized criminal activity and fortified drug operations.
