Domestic Dispute Leads to False Report
In a rather peculiar case, a 20-year-old woman in an unspecified location reported herself to the police for possessing prohibited substances. Her motive?

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the origin and destination of the seized cocaine. "This is a major win for law enforcement," said a spokesperson for the Spanish National Police. "It demonstrates our commitment to disrupting the operations of criminal organizations."
