The National Police dismantled a criminal organization suspected of being dedicated to international heroin trafficking after intervening 21 kilos of this substance in Gran Canaria. Four people were arrested in connection with this operation.

The seized drugs were to be subsequently transported to the Peninsula, according to the investigation. Authorities indicate that this route represents a new pathway for the introduction and transit of narcotics that agents continue to analyze.

A rural fire broke out yesterday near Abreiro, in Mirandela, due to the use of agricultural machinery, and the Voluntary Firefighters of Mirandela managed to extinguish the flames before they spread. The case serves as a warning for the risks associated with agricultural work during periods of high fire danger, since a simple spark from metallic equipment in contact with stones or dry vegetation can trigger a fire.
