Police Close Chacarita Drug Bunker After $5 Million Bribe Attempt, Seize Retail Doses in Alderetes

The seizures reflect street-level enforcement, with prosecutors securing the Chacarita site under a fixed guard.

Overview

  • In Barrio Fraga, City Police detained a 20-year-old Peruvian after officers observed a suspected hand-to-hand exchange and entered a residence used for sales.
  • Inside the Chacarita property, officers seized 144 grams of cocaine, 26.3 grams of marijuana, packaging materials, a precision scale, and a .32-caliber firearm.
  • The detainee allegedly offered 5 million pesos to avoid arrest, and the Unidad Fiscal Norte led by José Guerrero ordered his detention, designated the property a bunker, and installed a permanent police post.
  • In Alderetes, Tucumán, a preventive check identified a 61-year-old carrying 85 paper-wrapped doses of cocaine totaling about 15 grams, along with a small amount of marijuana.
  • Neighbors confronted officers during the Alderetes stop and some threw stones at patrol cars, and the Narcomenudeo fiscal unit under auxiliary Sol Gramajo took the case with domicile and record checks ordered and no detention at the time of reporting.
