Two more arrests following high-speed drugs chase in Mallorca

One of the three drugs runners on the ten metre semi-rigid boat that had come from north Africa was detained in Cala d'Or soon after the boat landed at Cala Gran. The two others were arrested on Saturday. All three appeared in court in Manacor on Monday and were ordered to prison. They didn't have papers on them and maintained that they had relatives in Mallorca and had nothing to do with the unloading of the hashish.
