Overview
- Officers tailed a suspicious lorry from the Port of Valencia to a warehouse in Vallada, where they recovered 690 kilograms of cocaine.
- A subsequent inspection of the container’s cargo uncovered more than one tonne additional, bringing the total seizure to nearly two tonnes.
- Inside the container, agents found a heavy solid-steel chest designed to frustrate port scanners and conceal high‑value illicit loads.
- Authorities detained three suspects during the warehouse operation, while ABC reports three later arrests including the truck driver.
- The Guardia Civil, Policía Nacional and customs surveillance unit led the joint action, as separate raids in Alicante made three arrests and seized about 850 grams tied to local distribution.
