Vigo Nightlife Sweep Nets Drug Seizures, Venue Citations and Two Arrests

Police say the coordinated checks are part of a continuing plan to curb small‑scale dealing in the city’s nightlife districts.

Overview

  • National and local police, working with the Labour Inspectorate, staged a joint operation in Vigo’s pubs and clubs over the past weekend.
  • Preventive searches of customers led to multiple drug seizures and administrative acts for possession and consumption.
  • Local Police flagged licensing and safety deficiencies, proposing sanctions against one venue for allowing indoor smoking and improper tobacco sales.
  • The Labour Inspectorate will initiate sanction procedures after detecting labour irregularities during the checks.
  • Police made two separate arrests, detaining a man for alleged drug trafficking after he fled and struck an officer and a woman for a robbery with violence against a night-shift cleaner.
