Five arrested in Costa Teguise after 21 kg of cocaine seized from motorhome

In Brief

Spanish police dismantled a drug network on Lanzarote, seizing over 21 kg of cocaine from a motorhome in Costa Teguise. Five suspects aged 55–58 were arrested; the ringleader is in custody.

Spanish police have broken up a criminal group involved in drug trafficking on the island of Lanzarote. The operation began in September 2025 after a school in Costa Teguise reported a suspicious motorhome parked on its lot.

During the investigation, authorities seized more than 21 kg of cocaine, with an estimated street value of 750,000 euros, and 115,000 euros in cash. According to one source, 20 kg were found in the motorhome and over 115,000 euros at a suspect's home; during a chase on April 18, police intercepted a vehicle and seized another 21.5 kg of cocaine. Five people aged 55 to 58 were arrested, and the alleged leader has been remanded in custody.

Asturian municipality Llanes issues 340 fines to motorhomes and camper vans this summer

The municipality of Llanes in Asturias issued more than 360 fines to owners of motorhomes and camper vans over the summer of 2025. About 20 fines were issued in June, 60 in July and 260 in August; local police conducted night patrols. Mayor Enrique Riestra said the measures aim to protect beaches such as Cué and Cuevas del Mar, not to raise revenue. Fines were issued for wild camping and overnight stays in vehicles; putting out chairs, tables or awnings, or hanging clothes on mirrors, incurs a 500 euro fine. Violations in a natural park carry a 3000 euro fine. Most fines have been appealed.
