Guardia Civil Raids Net Major Drug Hauls in Oviedo and Salamanca, Cut Cocaine Route to Vizcaya

Authorities say the actions form part of a broader push targeting road smuggling networks.

Overview

  • In Oviedo, officers seized 90 kilos of hashish hidden between seats and in two suitcases after surveilling a Volkswagen Touran that traveled from Madrid, detaining a 38-year-old driver and a 30-year-old passenger.
  • In Navacarros (Salamanca), a 27-year-old man was arrested when nearly 76.8 kilos of hashish were found in two sports bags inside his car during an operation under plan TELOS.
  • A resident of Pontevedra was detained after agents from Cantabria and the Basque Country found 2.25 kilos of cocaine concealed in a rental car’s air‑filter housing following a three‑month investigation.
  • The Guardia Civil reports that the cocaine case cut one of the routes used to bring the drug into Vizcaya from Galicia.
  • Seized substances are being submitted for forensic analysis as investigations continue to map the networks behind the couriers.
