Over the course of the two-day crackdown, officers arrested eight individuals suspected of dealing drugs. All eight suspects subsequently appeared before an investigating judge.
These latest arrests bring the total number of drug-related detentions in June alone to 35, which is the highest monthly figure recorded in 2026 to date.
