Four tons of hashish seized

The security services of the port of the northern town of Tangier, Morocco, has seized over four tons of hashish concealed in a TIR truck.

The vehicle, registered in Spain, was transporting vegetables from the Moroccan southern city of Agadir to Algesiras, southern Spain, but the port authorities found out the tachogram disk indicated a much longer distance than what should normally have been driven.

The truck, whose Spanish driver was arrested, was also trying to smuggle six would-be illegal immigrants.
