Policía Nacional officers in Ceuta detained a man of about 35 in the early hours
of Saturday near the city’s Estación Marítima, the ferry and passenger port
terminal, carrying a slab of hashish of about 100 grams.[1]A member of the
public alerted police to a man behaving suspiciously in the area shortly after
05:00, and officers of the force’s Grupo de Atención Ciudadana, its community
policing group, went to check on him and identify him.[1]The man carried no
identity documents, and police said his identification was difficult.[1]
When officers searched him, they found the slab of hashish among his belongings,
bearing some of the logos typical of the product.[1]The man shouted and
insisted the drug was not his, saying another person had handed it to him to
guard until someone came to collect it, and police said he was alone and had no
direct link to the substance.[1]
Police arrested him for trafficking in narcotic substances and took him to the
headquarters of Ceuta’s Jefatura Superior de Policía Nacional, the provincial
police command.[1]The El Faro de Ceuta report described the detainee as a
person in an irregular administrative situation who had arrived in Ceuta during
the mass entry recorded in July, and whose details were not registered in the
city.[1]Police said the investigation would continue to establish the
circumstances of the case and any information about the person who, according to
the detainee, was to come and collect the drug.[1]
Case data
Every number and detail the sources state, with the sources that state it.
The weight is stated as about 100 grams of hashish, not an exact measured figure, and no laboratory confirmation was reported.
The detainee is described only by age (about 35) and administrative status; no name, nationality, charge before a court or court outcome was reported.
The article gives no charge beyond 'tráfico de sustancias estupefacientes'; whether he was brought before a court or remanded was not reported.
The arrested man's account that another person gave him the drug to hand to a third party is his version as reported by police, and no other participant was identified.
No street value for the hashish was published.
Only one opened source for this event was found; searches in Spanish returned no other outlet reporting the same detention.
