A young man was arrested with 11 kilos of hashish in the port of Palma

  • The detainee was transporting the drugs inside a suitcase

June 11, 2024.- Customs Surveillance officials from the Tax Agency and the Tax and Border Detachment of the Civil Guard in Mallorca, in a joint operation, have arrested a 23-year-old young man in the port of Palma who was carrying 11 kilos of hashish in a suitcase.

Last Sunday, upon the arrival of a ship from Barcelona, Civil Guard officers carried out the usual checks on the vehicles and people disembarking. During these checks, a car driven by a young man aroused the officers' suspicions due to his attitude. They proceeded to identify and search the vehicle, finding inside a suitcase containing 11 kg of hashish and 200 marijuana vaporizers.

The driver of the vehicle was immediately arrested as the alleged perpetrator of a drug trafficking crime. The detainee has been placed at the disposal of the Judicial Authority.
