Guardia Civil officers seized almost two tons of hashish as it was being unloaded onto El Tubo beach in Marbella.
The SIVE surveillance system detected a boat heading towards the town which raised suspicions that it could be carrying a shipment of drugs. Guardia Civil patrols headed for the area and, lo and behold, their suspicions were confirmed.
As the drugs dealers were unloading 55 packages onto the beach, the police officers swooped. As well as the drugs, police seized the boat, three engines, three satellite phones, two GPS, a mobile phone, two machetes and a flashlight!
