Three people have been arrested and a total of 1,500 kilos of hashish has been seized after two boats were intercepted, one near Sanlucar de Barrameda and the other in the Puerto de Chipiona, both in Cádiz province.
Suspicion was aroused when the two vessels drew alongside each other for a few minutes off the coast of Huelva and the two boats were then monitored.
The first vessel, a pleasure craft, was intercepted by the Huelva Guardia Civil Maritime Service in the mouth of the río Guadalquivir, close to Sanlúcar de Barrameda. The second vessel was stopped by the Cádiz Guardia Civil Maritime Service near the the port of Chipiona.
