Customs and National Security agents at the Ceuta Gate crossing succeeded, on Friday morning, in thwarting the smuggling of 39 kilograms of hashish.
According to a customs source, customs and national security officers in the departure area of the Bab Ceuta crossing, thanks to their fruitful cooperation and the support of the trained dogs of the National Security, managed to detect and seize this quantity of drugs on board a four-wheel drive vehicle with a German license plate, which was heading towards the occupied city of Ceuta.
