It's part of an ongoing operation which has resulted in a total of fifteen arrests and 235 kilos of cocaine recovered.
An international drug trafficking gang has been broken up by the National Police in Valencia. Fifteen arrests were made in the second phase of ‘Operation Antilla’, nine of them in Valencia, and 235 kilos of cocaine has been recovered in Madrid and Valencia.
Those arrested are believed to have brought the drugs into Spain from Colombia. Police have impounded computers, precision scales and other items in a total of five searches carried out since the first stage of the operation which took place in Madrid last March.
The head of the gang is considered to be a 44 year old Colombian who was arrested in Madrid on April 29.
In the latest arrests there were three Colombian women, four Colombian men and a Spaniard.
All those arrested will appear in court shortly.
