GNR seizes 100 jerrycans with liters of gasoline in operation against support for drug trafficking

TVI Notícias14 September 2026 at 22:00

The National Republican Guard seized 100 jerrycans with liters of gasoline during an operation against support for drug trafficking. The operation took place in Albufeira and aimed to dismantle a support network for drug trafficking.

Nine suspects were arrested by the authorities, among whom a young person of only 17 years old. The detainees are suspected of having provided assistance to drug trafficking.

The authorities did not reveal more details about the operation or about the destination that would be given to the seized gasoline.

Why this matters

The operation is relevant for readers in the Algarve, a region frequently affected by drug trafficking, as it demonstrates the authorities' effort to attack not only the trafficking itself, but the entire logistical infrastructure that supports it. The arrest of a minor aged 17 among the suspects highlights the concern about the involvement of young people in criminal networks. This action follows other similar operations aimed at dismantling the supply chains of drug trafficking in the southern region of the country.
