Three arrests following discovery of drugs warehouse

Properties in Palma, Marratxi and Sencelles were raided in the early hours of Saturday morning and lasted some 70 hours. While the amount of drugs seized was significant, so also was the method deployed by the gang. Police say that they used a "nursery", a clandestine warehouse, a familiar system used by drugs traffickers in southern Spain but not previously encountered in Majorca.

This warehouse contained the 100 kilos of hash. In Biniali (Sencelles), the marijuana plantation was uncovered.

The three people arrested are Spanish, one of whom is originally from Morocco. The operation, dubbed "Palmera", remains open, and further detentions are possible.
