The National Police have arrested two 25-year-old men, in Puerto del Rosario, Fuerteventura, after they were found carrying over six kilograms of hashish through the streets in a supermarket bag.
The incident occurred on Boxing Day, December 26th, during a routine police patrol. Officers noticed the young men acting nervously on a public street while handling packages wrapped in brown adhesive tape inside a plastic bag. Their behaviour raised suspicions, prompting the officers to approach them.
Upon noticing the police presence, one of the men tried to run away but was quickly apprehended just metres from the scene. Both individuals were detained for further investigation.
A search of the bag revealed six packages, each containing 40 compacted hashish tablets marked with the brand "THE GODFATHER." The total weight of the confiscated drugs amounted to 6,128 grams.
After being taken to a police station, authorities discovered that one of the men was living in Spain illegally, and the other already had a criminal record.
Both detainees were subsequently presented to the competent judicial authority, which ordered their imprisonment pending further legal proceedings.
