The national police of Elda-Petrer (Alicante) arrested after a long car chase, two men of British and Moroccan origin transporting 13.5 kilos of marijuana as well as 2,803 euros in cash, hidden in a vehicle.
The two traffickers, aged 24 and 26, tried to escape the police who had located three suspicious vehicles driving in convoy and at high speed on one of the main roads of Elda. On certain routes, the three vehicles, one of which was transporting the 13 kilos of marijuana, were even making prohibited overtaking maneuvers, reports Antena 3.
