The Guardia Civil has arrested eight people, seven of whom are in Tenerife and one in Madrid, accused of smuggling heroin from Madrid to El Fraile in the south of Tenerife, as ‘drug mules’ with small packages of the lethal substance inside their bodies.
In the official police report released this morning, it states that the drugs were brought in by people from sub-Saharan African countries that carried the substance inside their bodies wrapped in plastic that they had swallowed to ingest it, until they arrived at their destination in Tenerife.
