THE Spanish police seized 4.5 tons of cocaine with an estimated sales value of €105 million following raid on livestock ship off Canary Islands earlier in the week, according to today’s announcement.
The ship, as reported by APE-MPE, had done stops in ports of about 12 countries before Tuesday’s raid and police said the drug traffickers have started using animal transport ships because it is more difficult for the police to detect their illegal cargo.
