MADRID - A security cooperation operation between Morocco, Spain, and France led to the seizure of more than 15.3 tons of cannabis resin in the Spanish southeastern city of Almeria, reported the Europa Press agency.
The drugs were being transported aboard a truck from Nador and were hidden between pallets of watermelons and inside fake plastic sweet potatoes to evade inspections.
The operation, dubbed "San Pedro," led to the arrest of eight people in Almería and Torremolinos, in southern Spain.
The head of the operation, Antonio Jesús Martínez Duarte, said that this intervention made it possible to dismantle the network's logistics.
The anti-narcotics operation aimed to prevent the redistribution of the drugs to other vehicles, particularly those destined for France, the supposed point of arrival of the merchandise.
