Marihuana found as officers stop scouts’ warning calls

THREE people have been arrested in the Guadalhorce Valley suspected of drug-trafficking.

Guardia Civil officers carrying out spot-checks in the area pulled a car over and stopped two people inside, who had hurriedly reached for their mobile phones, from making calls.

Shortly afterwards another vehicle arrived at the check-point and was found to be carrying seven kilos of marihuana.

The two from the first car are believed to be scouts sent ahead to detect and warn of police presence.
