Police arrested 25 people during an operation against drug trafficking in La Janda in Cadiz, Andalucia.
As the authorities continue to crackdown on drug trafficking across Andalucia, officers have seized more than a ton of hashish and arrested 25 people following an investigation in Cadiz.
The operation was part of a major investigation into a well-known drug gang in La Janda who have allegedly been trafficking drugs into Spain by sea along the coast of Cadiz.
More than 250 Guardia Civil officers took part in the operation, carrying out 15 searches in the towns of Barbate, Chiclana, Conil, Cadiz and Algeciras, finding more than a ton of hashish, a dozen vehicles, half a dozen boats, and €35,000.
The operation involved agents from the Guardia Civil in Cadiz and Algeciras, as well as the Guardia Civil’s Southern Drug Trafficking Coordination Agency (OCON) and the Guardia Civil’s Rapid Action Group (GAR).
Officers have been carrying out a crackdown on drug trafficking along the Cadiz coastline following an increase in the number of boats being used to bring drugs into Spain from North Africa.
