TWO SPANISH men have been arrested after a ton of hashish was seized from their boat in waters off the coast of Alicante yesterday. Customs officials are investigating the possibility of the haul being linked to two other incidents off the coast of Valencia.
There are certain features, such as the cargo weight, that leads police to believe the incidents are related. The use of small boats carrying similar loads of one ton each aroused speculation that a larger vessel in deeper waters could be supplying smaller craft at different points along the Mediterranean coast.
The boat apprehended at Alicante was a small six foot motorboat. Despite its size it was loaded with bales of hashish secreted in the hull. Customs officers noted that the boat was unusually low in the water, prompting a search.
The two men have been detained.
