Two arrested after taking a bundle of hash from a Calvia beach

The bundles have been appearing since Saturday last week. They fell into the sea during stormy weather. The boat carrying the drugs failed to make a landing.

No one has so far been detained in connection with this consignment of drugs, but two arrests were made in Costa de la Calma last week after a bundle was taken from a beach.

More than twenty bundles, each weighing around 40 kilos, have now been retrieved. Most have been found in Andratx and Calvia, but there have been two in Palma, while three were discovered some distance away at Sa Foradada in Deya.
