After the frustration felt by residents of La Herradura over the seeming impunity of narco-RIBs carrying fuel in the bay, it is a relief to hear of the police actually knabbing culprits.

However, this wasn’t in La Herradura, but much further down the coast near the city of Málaga in the area of Guadalmar.

Thanks to a tip off to the police by somebody who saw a ‘suspicious car’ in his area, the Málaga Policía Local were able to intercept a vehicle with 50 fuel containers in the back, obviously intended for refueling narco RIBs for their return run to Morocco.

The van had been making its way down to the beach when the police saw it. Upon arrival, individuals began to hurriedly unload the fuel as a RIB headed for the beach. It appears that the police only managed to arrest the driver. The rest must have got away.

The Policía Local handed him over to the Policía Nacional, whilst the Guardia Civil took charge of the vehicle and confiscated fuel containers.

Editorial comment: the way things are going with fuel prices, the gasoline will fetch more money that the drugs!
