The Policía Nacional has arrested two Frenchmen, aged 27 and 30, for being in possession nearly 11 kilos of Marijuana.

The bust was carried out by the Granada branch of the Drugs Squad after they investigated rumours of two French citizens in the province, with sizable criminal records, running drugs to other parts of Spain and abroad.

The two men were actually arrested at the wheel of a hired vehicle; the police attempted to wave them down but the weed-hauling Gauls sped off, which rather disappointed the policemen. A chase ensued.

They were finally intercepted and detained within the township of Colomera, where after a search of the van turned up three black, plastic bags..

The policemen knuckled back a tear of gratitude and energetically clamped the cuffs on them.

The two men have since been charged with drug smuggling and dangerous driving; or better said, the driver of the two was.
