Two new SIVE fixed radar are to be installed on the Murcia coast to control drug smuggling and illegal immigration, in addition to the mobile units already in place on the coast.
La Verdad gives the new sites as Marina de Cope in the South and San Pedro del Pinatar in the North.
The mobile units will continue to operate in the Cartagena area and at another undisclosed site.
The news of the measures came from the central government representative for Murcia, Ángel González, on Tuesday, just shortly after eight Moroccan migrants were arrested after reaching land in the Cartagena area. Two others from Algeria were picked up on the MU-320 road in Escombreras.
Increased surveillance for neighbouring Alicante province was also announced last month, with four fixed radar to supplement a mobile unit which has been operating there for the past year.
