Six boats and 293 bales of hashish seized off the coast of Huelva

The Guardia Civil has intervened six semi-rigid boats, three of them equipped with four engines each, on the coast of Huelva. In addition, seven people have been arrested and 293 bales of hashish with a total weight of 11,400 kilograms have been seized.

The interventions have been carried out by agents of the Huelva Maritime Service who surprised the occupants of the semi-rigid boats sailing close to the coast. It was then that they fled at high speed and were later intercepted by the agents.

During the monitoring, the occupants of the boats threw the bundles into the sea, which were later recovered by the agents. In total, 293 bales of hashish with a total weight of 11,400 kilograms have been seized.

These actions are part of the ordinary services carried out by the Guardia Civil units to fight against organisations dedicated to drug trafficking.
