The Civil Guard has located and dismantled a drug nursery in

La Línea de la Concepción

(Cádiz) in an operation in which it has seized more than four and a half tons of hashish, one of the largest caches discovered in recent years in Andalusia and which has resulted in three arrests.

According to TVE, those arrested, one of them an English national, have been brought to justice as alleged perpetrators of the crimes of drug trafficking and membership in a criminal organization.

The drug was found in what is called a "

nursery

", a warehouse where it is kept for a time before being taken to other points to be distributed.

The operation has been carried out within the framework of the Campo de Gibraltar Special Security Plan.
