Finding drugs in Tirana is not difficult. It is enough to ask the right person in any of its neighborhoods, and it is not difficult to find him. This is shown by the figures that speak of a high number of people prosecuted or arrested in the capital during the past year.
"During the year 2024, Tirana Antidrug has processed 1226 people, of which 316 have been arrested and 18 others have been declared wanted".
Most of the arrested persons have been in flagrante delicto and kept under surveillance for months. According to the data, 892 people were criminally prosecuted while at large. The dispensers were mainly placed near the premises, but also at the doors of the schools. In order not to fall on the tracks of the police, in many cases the leaders of criminal groups have also used minors to distribute narcotics, reports A2 CNN.
During 2024, 18 kg of cocaine and 129 kg of cannabis were seized during operations in Tirana alone. The area of the former Bus Park and the former Train station have been designated as hot spots for the police. The problematic areas are also the peripheral ones, such as Lapraka, Astiri and Kombinati, writes A2 CNN.
Some of the most sensational operations and with more people arrested were "Tempulli 2", where 67 people were handcuffed and "Tempulli 4" with the issuance of 28 arrest warrants. Other police operations have revealed several different cases when traffickers have brought drugs to our country by mail.
The operation carried out in March 2024, where the agents pursued Enea Sulejmani, who had 1 kg of cocaine in his car, was not a little sensational. To escape arrest, the young man tried to crush the police officers, where one of them shot in self-defense and wounded Suleiman in the leg. In that operation, it was later discovered that an operative of the operation was collaborating with the criminal group of dealers of hard drugs. (A2 Televizion)
