Four people arrested in Malaga's Guadalhorce valley after 360 kilos of hashish found hidden in lorry

National Police officers in Spain have seized 360 kilos of hashish that were hidden in a concealed compartment of a lorry trailer. The drugs were being transported in the province of Malaga.

A raid was carried out during a clandestine drug transaction inside a property located in the Guadalhorce valley area. Police investigators were able to verify that the hashish transported was hidden inside the lorry trailer.

As a result of the operation, four people have been arrested and remanded in custody. Additionally, a search was carried out in the town of Coín, which has led to the seizure of five vehicles and what is known as a "kit de vuelcos" - equipment used to avoid police detection and facilitate drug-trafficking, consisting of high-end frequency jammers, geolocation beacons, defence sprays, mobile phones, a compressed air pistol with silencer and abundant identity documents of third parties, some of them forged.

One of the vehicles, with a fake licence plate, was reported stolen in France last year. According to investigators, it might have been used in drug smuggling, as it had a lot of beach sand in its interior and a strong smell of petrol.
