Civil Guard have confiscated more than a ton of cannabis and arrested two suspects

The Civil Guard news on Monday of another drugs haul on a beach in Marbella, with the arrest of two suspects on Playa de la Mimosa who were seen transferring a boat’s cargo into a stolen van waiting on Playa de la Mimosa.

Europa Press reports that the cargo was 1.1 tons of cannabis, distributed amongst 37 packages.

The boat which had carried the drugs onto shore was also confiscated by officers.

This latest operation follows another success earlier this month, when 1.8 tons of cannabis were seized and 7 suspects were arrested on Playa Varadero in San Pedro de Alcántara.

Elsewhere in Spain, a small boat which was transporting almost 1.4 tons of cannabis was intercepted to the north of Gran Canaria early on Sunday and the two crew were taken into custody.
