Six individuals have been arrested by the PSP of Coimbra between Tuesday and Wednesday for crimes including drug trafficking, forgery, theft, and driving without a license and under the influence of alcohol.
In a statement, the Public Security Police detailed that the detained include five men and one woman.
A 63-year-old man was arrested in Figueira da Foz at 1:00 PM on Tuesday on suspicion of forgery. He failed to pay for fuel at a Tavarede station, prompting PSP intervention.
Upon arrival, “the police discovered that the license plate on the suspect’s motorcycle was from another vehicle, leading to his arrest. The PSP also seized the motorcycle and the license plate.”
Shortly after, also in Figueira da Foz, a 55-year-old man was arrested at the Railway Station on suspicion of drug trafficking. He was found in possession of 65 doses of cocaine, which were confiscated.
