In Brief

Police in Arrecife arrested five people aged 55–58 and seized more than 21 kg of cocaine from a motorhome parked at a school in Costa Teguise. The drug's value exceeds 750,000 euros; 115,000 euros in cash were also found.

Spain's National Police in Arrecife (Lanzarote) arrested five people aged 55 to 58 on suspicion of drug trafficking and belonging to a criminal organization. The operation, carried out by the drug squad, began in September 2025 after a school reported a suspicious motorhome parked on its premises in Costa Teguise.

During the first phase, 20 kg of cocaine and more than 115,000 euros in cash were found inside the motorhome. On April 18, a second operation uncovered an additional 21.5 kg of cocaine (some sources say 21 kg) worth over 750,000 euros. In total, 21.5 kg of the drug was seized, though some reports mention 21 kg. The remaining network members were arrested; the alleged ringleader was remanded in custody. One source reports seven arrests, while others say five.
