IN an operation codenamed ‘Fake’, Guardia Civil from Roquetas de Mar arrested four people for crimes against public health and intellectual property. The officers were tipped off regarding the frequent visits of people to a certain house in the town which was put under surveillance.

They found that they were selling bootleg CDs and DVDs, as well as drugs. They raided the premises, finding as many as 15,000 discs worth up to €250,000, and 51 grammes of cocaine, as well as €400 in cash.
