Spanish police has arrested 23 people in an anti-drug operation in Asturias and recovered drugs with an estimated value of 218,000 €.

15 of those arrested are Spanish and the rest are foreigners from the Dominican Republic, Romania, Argentina, Italy and Uruguay. Bail has been granted to nine of those arrested.
1.45 kilos of cocaine with quantities of hashish, ecstasy, LSD, amphetamines, morphine and Rohipnol were recovered and three sites used as laboratories dismantled.

Reporting restrictions remain in the case, but it is understood that most of the drugs came from Latin America and police had been watching the gang since January.
