The agony and the ecstasy

The court heard that the two men were detained on April 24 in Carrer de l’Esperança after Officers spotted them carrying a very bulky blue fanny pack and a 500 gram cereal box.

Police say the one with the cereal box tried to make a run for it, but was intercepted and that when the box of Whole Wheat Flakes with Chocolate Shavings was opened a neatly sealed bag of cereal and two fist-sized pouches containing 1,000 pink, cloud-shaped ecstasy tablets were found inside.

The suspect reportedly tried to escape a second time in Carrer d’Artà but the Officers caught him.

Whilst his alleged accomplice tried to outrun the Police, the other suspect threw the fanny pack containing 650 euros under a car.

One of the suspects was released from prison on Tuesday after paying 10,000 euros bail money, but the other defendant is still in jail.
