A gang described by the Guardia Civil as “one of Spain’s leading criminal producers of marijuana” have been arrested after an operation involving the Guardia, the UK’s National Crime Agency, and various police forces across Europe.
The gang, who are believed to have been led by a married couple from Torrevieja, hid the drug inside sealed tin cans for their journey to the UK. Out of the 16 arrests made, 3 have been jailed so far.
