In addition to the six arrests for dealing, a seventh person was detained who had a court order, while 38 people were fined for the possession of drugs and five for carrying knives.

The inspections were made by the police's citizens' security brigade and by Palma police's green patrol, which was checking on compliance with bylaws and regional regulations. Sixteen proceedings resulted from this. The establishments that were inspected were ones where there had been incidents or for which information had been received regarding the sale and use of drugs.
