Narcogangs on the Costa del Sol have been hit hard in recent weeks with some 3.3 tons of the drugs being seized by Guardia Civil. The first drugs bust took place in Calahonda, where two people were arrested and 592 kilos seized. The second was on El Moral beach in Estepona when a suspicious boat was detected heading to the Bahia Dorada area. The people on board fled before they could be arrested, but officers recovered 1,650 kilos of hashish.The following night, another boat was seen arriving at Costabella Beach in Marbella, in their haste to get away, the smugglers abandoned their pneumatic boat, a van with five packages of hashish inside and several sacks all over the beach also containing drugs. The whole lot amounted to 1,190 kilos. The vehicle’s original keys and documents were found and as it had not been reported stolen, the 32-year-old owner was arrested.
