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.

Motorhomes and caravans fill Montaña Arena coast during heatwave

In the Montaña Arena area on the southern coast of Gran Canaria, visitors have set up camp in motorhomes, caravans, and camper vans to cope with the heatwave. They rely on fans, ice, and portable showers. Some, like Alfonso Umpiérrez, have converted a refrigerated van into a mobile home, while others, like Iván Santana, bring water for showers. José Sánchez sells bread, ice, and ice cream to the campers. A couple from Cádiz says the local heat is more bearable due to the breeze.
