More than two and a half tonnes of hashish seized in Huelva property
An operation by the National Police has succeeded in seizing a hashish consignment exceeding two and a half tonnes in Huelva. The shipment was located inside a property situated in the provincial capital, which traffickers were using as a temporary collection point before distributing the merchandise.
Officers carried out a search of the property and found the narcotic substance distributed across various packages. The operation forms part of routine activities that the police force carries out in the area to dismantle the networks that introduce drugs into Spanish territory via the Andalusian coast.
Huelva is one of the most active entry points for drug trafficking coming from North Africa. The geographical proximity to Morocco and the length of its coastline facilitate the clandestine landings of vessels transporting hashish shipments. The authorities maintain permanently deployed maritime and land surveillance operations to intercept these consignments.
The investigation remains open with the aim of identifying those responsible for the criminal organisation that managed the storage facility. The officers have not provided information about possible arrests linked to this seizure.
