17 bales amounting to half a ton of hashish has been found in the ‘Cueva de la Virgen’ at Cerro Gordo near La Herradura. The cave is only accessible by sea, and the drugs were found on Wednesday by customs officials from Motril, who noticed the blue colour of some plastic inside the grotto.
Their inspection resulted in 15 bales of drugs being found initially, and then divers found two more on the sea bed. All contained hashish pollen and the total weight was 480 kilos.
A statement from the Guardia Civil said that they consider the find shows a new method of hiding drugs by the traffickers.
