Agents of the specialised drug and organised crime unit UDYCO Costa del Sol arrested Joseph Henry B., a 29-year-old British man, for allegedly shipping hashish to England.[1] His company, based in an industrial park in Mijas Costa, exported high-voltage batteries to Britain through France, and police say the hashish was hidden in the bottom of those containers.[1]
Officers grew suspicious because the Mijas warehouse saw little activity yet made periodic shipments through an international transport company; they intercepted one container and found 700 kilos of hashish hidden in its base.[1] Police also seized two stolen vehicles believed used to carry the drugs to the warehouse, one still holding the sacks in which the hashish had arrived from Morocco.[1]
Investigation continues
Police said they would continue working with Interpol and Europol to identify the rest of the network, which they believed may also have trafficked stolen heavy vehicles.[1]
