Three Pas de la Casa Residents Arrested in Drug Trafficking Probe

Police in Pas de la Casa have detained three local residents as part of an ongoing investigation into drug trafficking involving marijuana and ecstasy pills, sources confirmed on Tuesday.

The probe began early Tuesday morning with the arrest of a young resident found carrying a small amount of marijuana and some ecstasy tablets. During questioning, he identified two associates, both also Pas de la Casa residents, who were apprehended later that afternoon. Officers, including uniformed personnel and specialists in public health crimes, conducted searches of their homes and related locations, seizing items potentially linked to drug distribution. While exact quantities remain under analysis, the main substances involved are reported as ecstasy and marijuana; a small amount of cocaine, around one gram, was also found but not central to their activities. Police have not released further details as the investigation continues.

In recent related incidents in the area, two non-resident men aged 32 and 36 were arrested on Sunday, January 4, for offences against public authority, personal liberty, honour, and public health. Apartment staff reported damage to furniture in their unit. Officers entered with the manager, confirmed the destruction, and noted a plate with white powder residue and a cylindrical cardboard tube on furniture. After identifying and locating the men, they disregarded police orders, resisted, insulted officers, and assaulted them, causing injuries. A search revealed a bag of white powder hidden in one man's wallet; field tests on both the residue and the bag confirmed cocaine. The pair were handed to judicial authorities.

Additionally, Altaveu reported other recent arrests of three non-residents in Pas de la Casa, including one for resisting police and offences against integrity and honour, another for drug possession likely for personal use, and a third tied to socioeconomic delinquency.

Separately, on Saturday, January 3, police in Andorra la Vella detained a 34-year-old resident for offences against personal liberty and honour. Responding to reports of an assault, officers found him on the ground with a forehead contusion, heavily intoxicated, and unable to recall events. He refused medical aid multiple times, behaved disrespectfully, then collapsed again nearby, threatening and insulting police upon approach, leading to his arrest.
