In two separate incidents, the Guardia Civil in Cádiz has seized over five tons of hashish.
The first operation took place at the El Puerto de Santa María Yacht Club where a sailboat, moored in the marina on the false pretext of having broken down, was found to contain 3,000 kilos of hashish and pollen.
In Sanlúcar de Barrameda, 2,130 kilos of hashish was discovered in an abandoned pneumatic dinghy on La Jarra beach. Nearby was the smouldering remains of a 4×4, registered in Madrid, which is presumed to have been the vehicle used for smuggling the drugs and which was subsequently burned to remove all evidence relating to the occupants.
No arrests have yet been made in either case.
