Short-Lived Record

Only two days ago, the Seaside Gazette published an article entitled, “Biggest Ever Bust!” Now somebody’s gone and ruined it with an ever bigger drugs bust..

Biggest Bust Ever

The Guardia Civil intercepted a drugs shipment aboard a lorry from Morocco containing over 32 tonnes of hashish – this is the largest amount of drugs ever taken in one bust on dry land.

Marina Drug Bust

The criminal court in Motril has sentenced a man from Prat de Llobregat (Barcelona) to three years’ imprisonment, as well as a fine of three million euros after it was found that he had just over two metric tonnes of hasish onboard his yacht at berth in Marina del Este

Smugglers’ Narrow Escape

Police officers from the Servicio de Vigilancia Aduanera (SVA) based in Motril confiscated two tonnes of cannabis, found in a inflatable craft on a beach near the border between the municipalities of Torrox and Nerja.

Whilst Out Swimming…

A holidaymaker from Cordoba literally bumped into a package of hashish whilst out swimming off Punta de la Mona, La Herradura. The drugs; 40 kg of hashish pellets, were wrapped in raffia sacking.

Joint Taxis

Nope! This has nothing to do with sharing a taxi, but with joints as in ‘spliffs.’ The Police came across three taxi drivers, waiting for clients, smoking away on a marihuana joint next to Malaga train station… they were impressed!

Police Camera Stolen

Still on a judicial note, a man has been found guilty of stealing a Guardia Civil surveillance camera that they had set up to monitor the sale of drugs.
