A PSP mega-operation surrounded the Pasteleira neighborhood in Porto yesterday morning and arrested 15 people linked to drug trafficking. It is an organized group with several cells, which was very active in spreading drugs in that place. Large quantities of weapons and drugs were seized.
The Criminal Investigation Division of the PSP of Porto investigated this group for several months and executed 12 house search warrants in what is considered one of the most problematic neighborhoods in the city of Porto.
“This operation proceeded without incident, despite the fact that more than 48 agents from the Investigation Division and also agents from the Special Police Unit were involved,” explained João Soeima, PSP commissioner and responsible for this mega-operation, adding that The objective is to combat drug trafficking and that “the detainees were engaged in the direct sale of drugs in this neighborhood.”
Of the 15 detainees, at least four are women, who will be present today at the first judicial interrogation to learn about the coercion measures that a judge must apply.
This type of operation has occurred with some frequency in the last year in neighborhoods of the city of Porto marked by drug trafficking activity.
In the case of this neighborhood of Pasteleira, this is the third major operation carried out by the police in just four months. The previous ones took place in June and July of this year.
