Manhunt in Isla Mayor After Officer Shot in Drug Warehouse Raid

Officers are pursuing heavily armed traffickers from a Guadalquivir route guardería following the recovery of about 700 kilos of hashish.

Overview

  • A GRECO Tartesos officer was shot in the abdomen and leg during the operation and remains in stable but serious condition after emergency surgery at Virgen del Rocío hospital.
  • The shooting erupted when agents moved to access the warehouse in the rural Isla Mayor area, and no arrests had been reported as of Sunday.
  • Police searching the site seized approximately 700 kilos of hashish and recovered two vehicles listed as stolen, according to the National Police.
  • Investigators say the traffickers were equipped with war‑grade long guns, reportedly AK‑47s, and moved drug loads in vans escorted by armed guards.
  • The raid formed part of a broader anti‑narcotics surveillance effort along the Guadalquivir corridor involving GRECO units and other elite police teams.
