Two Moroccan were caught in the act attempting to smuggle more than two tons of cannabis onto shore in San Fernando, Cádiz province, early on Thursday. The Civil Guard were alerted after a suspicious boat was detected by the SIVE electronic surveillance system near the Caños de Gallineras area at around 5am. Officers found 69 bales of the drug on board the boat with a total weight of 2,070 kilos. It came after another drugs boat was intercepted 36 miles off the coast of Torre del Mar, in neighbouring Málaga province, on Wednesday, with 221 kilos of cannabis on board. The original size of the cargo is unknown as a number of packages were dumped overboard after a Civil Guard helicopter spotted the boat from the air. It’s understood that the vessel’s three crew are also Moroccan.
