Overview
- Officers, who intercepted the load on March 5, 2026, seized 287 kilos of amphetamine sulfate in Mungia, about 18 kilometers from Bilbao.
- The raid, carried out with Spain’s GEO special-operations unit and led by the national police, resulted in three arrests on site and two more the next day tied to transport.
- Investigators searched homes in Bilbao and Galdakao, finding another 6.5 kilos of amphetamine sulfate, 300 grams of cocaine, 700 grams of hashish, and cash in euros and dollars.
- Prosecutors overseeing the case froze three properties, other assets, and suspects’ bank accounts as the Fiscalía Especial Antidroga continues the investigation.
- Authorities say the operation fits a broader pattern in the region, which accounted for about 85% of Spain’s 2024 ‘speed’ seizures, with networks often importing the drug in liquid form to cook in rural labs.
