Overview
- Police in Ferrol concluded Operation Oxford with six detainees, including four arrested in Rubí (Barcelona), and one person ordered to jail.
- The Ferrol case shut down six retail points and seized more than 10,000 doses of high‑purity cocaine, €60,000 in cash, three vehicles and drug‑adulteration equipment, with a marijuana grow and three workers in irregular status found in Rubí.
- In a separate court‑supervised action on January 20, a multi‑agency team targeting links between O Salnés and the A Coruña area made eight arrests, with seven suspects remanded to prison after 12 searches across A Coruña, Arteixo, Ferrol and Pontevedra.
- That A Coruña operation seized about 5.5 kilograms of high‑purity cocaine, €40,000 in cash and high‑end vehicles after earlier interceptions of two 1‑kilogram packages at a shed near Pontevedra and three 1‑kilogram packages in a car on the AP‑9.
- Investigators say the A Coruña group used a luxury sneaker shop on Emilia Pardo Bazán as a sales front, while the Ferrol ring centralized orders by phone with 24‑hour deliveries by car or electric scooter and rotated sellers from Madrid and Barcelona to avoid detection.
