Authorities said neighbours felt uneasy about what was going on due to the constant stream of people visiting the parlour who even consumed narcotics in the street.
The Policia Nacional carried out extensive monitoring of the premises which confirmed that something illegal was taking place.
They also verified that the couple’s home was being used as a drug nursery and to store substances and equipment to prepare the cocaine for sale.

The couple have been accused of drug trafficking and the illegal possession of a weapon.
