Guardia Civil agents in two of Andalusia’s biggest ferry ports have stopped around 70 kilograms of cannabis from sneaking through into Spain. Four people have been arrested as a result of the operation in Algeciras and Tarifa on boats coming from Tangier. According to Military sources, 46 kilos were found on the Algeciras service. Officers managed to detect 18 kilos of cannabis in the boot while the other 28 were located in the fuel tank of a second vehicle. Meanwhile a little further up the coast 24.6 kilos were found in the boot and the battery of two further vehicles in Tarifa. As a result two Spaniards, one from Cordoba and the other from Ceuta and two Moroccans were arrested before they are scheduled to appear before the Courts.
