Five arrested in Torrevieja raids on suspected drug premises and cocaine laboratory

The arrests were made during the second phase of Operation Maluka, an investigation that followed an earlier crackdown on suspected drug sales in a residential building. Police surveillance later indicated that dealing may have resumed, leading investigators to open further enquiries.

The operation is reported by The Leader (Costa Blanca). The available report says officers identified a suspected dealing location and a laboratory used to prepare cocaine, but does not provide further operational details in the published extract. The investigation remains linked to activity in Torrevieja.
