A 43 year-old man, F.N.F.M., has been arrested in Vélez-Málaga after five kilos of marijuana, divided into various boxes and bags, was found in the trunk of his car.
The detainee, a resident of Canillas de Albaida, was driving through the centre of town in his SUV when he was signalled to stop at a police control. Instead of stopping he tried to evade the police but was eventually intercepted.
Searching the car, the police officers discovered the stash of drugs and €1,000 in cash, thought to be the proceeds of drugs sales. He has been charged wit a crime against the public health.
