Thousands of cigarettes have been confiscated and two Spanish nationals arrested

 "Thousands of cigarettes have been confiscated and two Spanish nationals arrested after personnel from the Gibraltar Defence Police hit the jackpot.

During a night-time routine patrol to provide security for the British dependency, two police officers in a rigid-hulled inflatable boat spotted movement in the shallow water at the western end of Gibraltar's runway.

They called for backup from colleagues and swooped on two men on the rocks at the end of the runway.
The men, who were dressed in black wetsuits, were found to have 40,000 cigarettes wrapped inside black plastic bags tied with ropes. The contraband would have been worth £3,000 in Gibraltar but much more in Spain."
