The Mossos d'Esquadra arrested a 41-year-old man in Vic for an alleged drug trafficking offense after seizing 17 packages of cocaine from him in the l'Estadi neighborhood. The arrest took place on Friday, May 15, on carrer del Doctor Salarich, when a patrol noticed the suspect throwing a package into a vehicle upon noticing the police presence.
Twelve days later, on Wednesday, May 27, the officers arrested the same man again in the same area. In this second operation, he tried to hide 125 packets of cocaine in a mailbox, also upon seeing another police car, but he did not manage to conceal them.
Officers located 17 packages in a car on carrer del Doctor Salarich
The first intervention occurred in the vicinity of carrer del Doctor Salarich, in the l'Estadi neighborhood of Vic. There, officers saw the man throw a package into a vehicle and, upon checking it, found the 17 packets of cocaine.
The operation ended with his arrest for an alleged drug trafficking offense. The arrested man was 41 years old.
The same man was arrested again with 125 packets twelve days later
The second arrest occurred on Wednesday, May 27, when he tried to hide 125 packets of cocaine in a mailbox upon detecting another police vehicle in the area. The Mossos d'Esquadra arrested him again in the same area of Vic.
The sequence concentrates two interventions in just twelve days and in the same urban environment, with a clear jump in the quantity seized between one case and the other. In the first operation, there were 17 packages, and in the second, 125 packets.
The most precise detail of the second arrest is the place chosen to hide the drugs, as the man attempted to leave the 125 packets in a mailbox before the officers arrested him on Wednesday, May 27.
