The gang were stopped by National Police officers after they received a tip off that the group was transferring ‘hashish’ in a van to the United Kingdom. According to the National Police, they carried out operation ‘Rostel’ in a bid to stop the gang, after they discovered that there was an organised group based in south-east Spain who had managed to smuggle a large quantity, thought to be about a tonne, of the drug through a Murcian port. They said that they suspected the drugs were bound for the UK and that they expected it to be transferred in vehicles through France and across the Channel. Police discovered a member of the group getting ready to load a van at a villa in Garruchal, where one of the gang’s main members resides and following extensive investigation, they raided a house in the Benijófar area. They arrested three people at the house in Benijófar and found a van outside the house containing 500 kilograms of hashish. Later, following a judicial court order, the National Police raided the house in Garruchal and arrested two more people, as well as seizing a Russian manufactured pistol and removing a luxury car from the property for further investigation.
