Five immigrants have been caught after landing at Teguise, Lanzarote, in a Zodiac. Police seized small quantities of hash in the operation.
Witnesses say that there were nine in the craft, and that they saw a vehicle approach the coast, which might have collected four of the immigrants, who could have had more drugs.
The 5-metre-long Zodiac came to land on the coast near the village of Guatiza in the early hours of this morning. It was residents of the area who alerted security forces. The five immigrants detained were hiding in bushes on the beach when they were arrested. The vehicle and the remainder of the occupants are still being sought.

Another one of the immigrants has now been arrested, and 2 kilos of drugs seized. It all seems linked to an attempt to introduce drugs to Lanzarote, not immigration ... so am moving the post to a new thread out of the cayucos one.
