Nine people were arrested in Spain in an operation that led to the seizure of roughly 1,100 kilos (1.2 tons) of cocaine hidden in two containers.

The gang dismantled in the operation - mainly made up of Spaniards - had extensive infrastructure in South America, the National Police said Friday.

A first container had been offloaded at the northeastern port of Tarragona, in the Catalonia autonomous region, and later taken to an industrial complex, where the police arrested three people and seized 627 kilos of cocaine hidden in a false bottom.

The police learned that the same company had imported another container and tracked it down in the neighboring autonomous region of Valencia, where seven people were arrested.

That second container had a false bottom containing 480 kilos of cocaine.
