Córdoba Police carried out a major operation with 124 raids in neighborhoods of the capital, following anonymous reports from residents about suspicious activities. The deployment included the participation of various security forces and lasted several hours. The action resulted in the arrest of 13 people accused of being part of a criminal network.
According to the force, the procedures aimed to dismantle links between arms trafficking and drug trafficking. The growth of the illegal market is a concern for provincial authorities. At the close of the report, control tasks were ongoing and further arrests were not ruled out.
The case reflects the impact of organized crime in Córdoba, where criminals' access to military-grade weapons is causing public alarm. The operation sought to cut off the supply of resources that fuel urban violence. The investigation will continue with the evidence gathered.
Weapons, drugs, and ammunition
During the raids, 27 firearms were seized, including shotguns, pistols, and revolvers. Bulletproof vests, handcuffs, and magazines were also found. The material was placed at the disposal of the Justice Department for forensic examination.
Additionally, officers seized 3.3 pounds (1.5 kilos) of marijuana and nearly 200 packets of cocaine ready for street sale. The discovery confirms the connection between drug trafficking and the clandestine sale of weapons. The total amount of seizures could increase with upcoming operations.
