Andorra police this week arrested five men — four on suspicion of drug possession and one for allegedly using a false identity at the Franco‑Andorran border.
In the early hours of Wednesday, two men aged 25 and 29 were stopped inside a nightclub in El Tarter; each was found with half an ecstasy pill. Later that night, officers on the CG‑2 near Soldeu arrested a man after finding 0.5 grams of cocaine. Most reports give that detainee’s age as 29, although one outlet reported him as 19.
In the early hours of Friday, police detained a 33‑year‑old outside a Soldeu nightclub. Officers say he was smoking a cannabis cigarette at the time, had another on him and was carrying 0.4 grams of methamphetamine.
Separately, on Thursday afternoon border officers at the Franco‑Andorran crossing intercepted a 26‑year‑old non‑resident who allegedly identified himself with a false identity; he was arrested on suspicion of fraudulent identification.
The drug stops are being treated as suspected offences against public health; the border case is being handled as an alleged offence relating to fraudulent identification. Authorities have not released further details about charges or any court proceedings.
