two successful drugs operations on the Costa Blanca and the Costa del Sol this week. Both National Police operations were carried out in conjunction with the Agencia Tributaria Tax Authority, and resulted in one and a half tons of cannabis and 50 kilos of cocaine being seized by officers.
The cocaine had been brought into Spain from Colombia via the port in Barcelona, where it was smuggled into port hidden in the false bottoms of barrels of castor oil. The cargo was transferred from the port to a warehouse in Crevillent, where the barrels were emptied of the oil and sent to an address in Benidorm.
Two people have been arrested.
The second operation was off the coast of Málaga province, where a boat sailing from Nador, Morocco, was boarded and found to be carrying a cargo of more than one and a half tons of cannabis. It’s understood that the gang had planned to unload the drugs at the Cabopino marina in Marbella.
12 people were arrested in that operation.
