Deployment of cash to the mine
Early this Monday, the Mossos d’Esquadra have launched an extensive operation in the Mina district, located in Sant Adrià de Besòs. This police action is part of the investigation of the shooting that took place on January 7, which caused a great commotion among the neighbors. To date, a total of 11 individuals have been detained, many of whom are linked to illicit activities related to drug trafficking.
Operation results
The operation has led to more than a dozen entries in different real estate, with the confiscation of eight long weapons, a gun, a significant amount of cash and a marijuana plantation. In total, about 350 agents from various units have been mobilized, including the Criminal Investigation Division, the Public Order Group, and specialized units such as the GEIs and the Drone Service.
A shooting that shocked
The shooting that triggered this operation took place in the morning from January 7 to 8, an incident that surprised by its intensity, with more than 40 detonations felt in the neighborhood. Despite the danger of the situation, only a woman was slightly injured, with a hematoma caused by a bullet she bounced.
History of Armed Violence in the area
This incident is not an isolated case. The La Mina district has been the scene of several shootings, with another similar event that took place on October 5 last year, which also left a person injured. In addition, other armed incidents have been reported in different parts of Barcelona, such as the November 21 shooting near the Sants market, and other episodes in areas such as the Marina de Port and the Trinitat Vella.
The police response to citizen concern
The increase in violent incidents with firearms has led to a great deal of concern among the citizens. Police have intensified their actions to deal with this problem, with operations such as La Mina, who seek not only to detain individuals involved in crimes, but also to restore community security and confidence.
Reflections on the current situation
The situation of armed violence in Barcelona, and especially in neighborhoods such as La Mina, raises questions about the causes of this escalation of conflicts. Authorities must work not only to control immediate violence, but also to address the roots of these social problems, fostering community cohesion and the prevention of long -term crime.
