On Wednesday, officers from the Drug Control Police (PCD) of the Ministry of Public Security arrested one of the leading dealers of cocaine and marijuana in Coco Beach, Guanacaste.
The 35-year-old Costa Rican national named Quirós was investigated by the police after receiving anonymous calls and information from the local law enforcement.
The man has a history of drug trafficking, a crime for which he had been arrested twice before, and in 2008 he was linked to a homicide.
According to the investigations, Quirós operated in San José, near a school, with the “express” modality, i.e., taking doses of marijuana and cocaine to where customers requested it, always in a vehicle.
Upon his arrest, the police seized 30 doses of cocaine and 39 doses of marijuana. They also seized 262,150 colones and $ 234 from the illegal business.
Quirós is now waiting for precautionary measures. He faces up to 15 years in prison.
