The National Police, together with customs surveillance from the Tax Agency, has successfully intercepted three thousand two hundred and fifty litres of gasoline and apprehended two individuals in a high-speed boat south of Huelva. This vessel was reportedly used for supplying fuel to narcolanchas involved in drug trafficking activities. The police operation was initiated to prevent drug trafficking and monitor recreational boats providing this illicit support.

On the thirty-first of May, the patrol boat Alcatraz detected a fast boat supplying fuel to a narcolancha. While attempting to intervene, the narcolancha tried to ram the patrol boat, but officers managed to thwart the operation. The two suspects were arrested on board and are being charged with smuggling and collective safety violations.

In a separate series of operations, the Civil Guard has seized over twenty-five thousand litres of fuel this month and arrested six people. They have intensified their fight against logistic support for drug trafficking in Huelva. Recent busts have uncovered multiple boats used for fuel supply and have resulted in further arrests.

The cases reflect an ongoing effort to dismantle drug trafficking networks in the region. Authorities are continuing their investigations to identify all individuals involved in this activity, as the fight against narcotrafficking intensifies in Huelva.
