Three arrested selling drugs on train tracks in Córdoba; cocaine and cash seized

Authorities in Córdoba, Argentina, have dismantled a drug trafficking operation following a four-month investigation. The probe focused on a sector of Villa El Milagro, where investigators observed repeated patterns of individuals visiting specific residences before moving towards the nearby train tracks.

The investigation revealed that the suspects were not only using homes but also the train tracks themselves as locations for drug transactions. This strategy allowed them to vary their meeting points and minimize the time buyers spent at the investigated residences, making their operations harder to track.

During a coordinated operation this past weekend, officers from the Fuerza Policial Antinarcotráfico (FPA) conducted simultaneous raids in a public passage within the settlement. They arrested three people: two 26-year-old men and a 22-year-old woman. Two of the suspects attempted to flee the scene upon the agents' arrival, but were intercepted by police deployed in the surrounding areas.

The operation resulted in the seizure of 575 doses of cocaine and $1,061,800 in cash. Additionally, a digital scale, a motorcycle, and other items believed to be connected to the drug trade were confiscated as evidence. The judiciary will now analyze the seized cocaine and investigate the origin of the money and the connection of the other confiscated items to the alleged trafficking activities.
