The National Police and the Anti-Drug Prosecutor's Office have issued an alert about the return of heroin to Spain, but in a new format.

Drug Mechanics: How Pharmaceutical Technology Adapts to Drug Trafficking 💊
Traffickers have applied compression and encapsulation processes, similar to those used in the legal pharmaceutical industry, to create precise doses of heroin.
