The Spanish Civil Guard, in collaboration with the Moroccan Directorate General of Territorial Surveillance (DGST), intercepted 4.7 tons of hashish aboard two inflatable boats between the islands of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura.

The operation, made possible through “close police cooperation” with Morocco, deployed a maritime surveillance system that located the boats carrying 131 bales of drugs approximately 80 kilometers off the coast, local media reported on Tuesday, citing police sources.

The four crew members of the two boats were arrested by Guardia Civil units on site during this high-seas intervention.

The suspects have been placed at the disposal of the Spanish judiciary, which has ordered their provisional detention, the same source indicates.
