Crew member of drug boat arrested in dunes at Moledo
One of three crew members of the drug boat that ran aground on Moledo de Caminha beach in northern Portugal was arrested after being found hiding in the dunes of the sandy beach, according to farodevigo.es. The operation was carried out by the Portuguese Judicial Police in collaboration with the Spanish Civil Guard.
The detainee is believed to be of Galician origin, according to Portuguese media outlets such as the newspaper Caminha 2000. The vessel, a fast boat equipped with high-powered engines, was not carrying narcotic substances at the time of inspection. The other two crew members managed to flee.
The boat had attempted to enter the territory via the River Miño before ending up beached on Moledo beach. The Portuguese judge before whom the arrested man appeared ordered pre-trial detention, a decision based on the detainee's criminal record, as also specified by Caminha 2000.
