Huelva, Spain - February 20, 2025 In a gripping weekend crackdown, Spain’s Guardia Civil chased down drug boats along the Huelva coast, seizing 5,721 kilograms of hashish and arresting six suspects in three simultaneous operations. The raids also netted 130 fuel containers with 3,250 liters of gasoline meant for trafficking vessels. The first pursuit off El Portil saw a boat flee, dumping three hashish bales; one crew member was caught after falling overboard. Near La Antilla, a second chase ended with 135 bales (5,400 kilograms) and four arrests. At Doñana beach, a man with ten hashish tablets and four bales was nabbed by a stranded boat. All six face trafficking charges and are in custody. In Punta Umbría, two were caught with 2,500 liters of fuel; in Cartaya, 750 more liters were seized, with drivers under investigation. The volatile fuel risks deadly explosions, authorities warn. The dramatic chases dealt a major blow to Huelva’s drug trade.
