The Guardia Civil has recovered a ton of hashish and arrested 16 people in Algeciras. Two vehicles were found carrying the drugs in false bottoms, and the traffickers had hoped to get through the port which was very busy with tourist traffic.
The Guardia Civil said in a statement that the operation began on July 22 when officers detected people transporting drugs in vehicles with false bottoms. They chose the last ferries of the night and times of high numbers of tourists.
13 people were also found to be transporting the drug inside their bags in their bodies.
It comes after the amount of drugs recovered in Andalucía so far this year is up 35% on last year.
