The incident occurred last Saturday, April 4, when a beachgoer noticed what appeared to be remnants of an abandoned bale in a coastal area and decided to notify the authorities, as reported by the La Oliva Town Council in a statement.

Officers from the Local Police were dispatched to the scene to conduct a thorough inspection. During the operation, they located 13 packages containing approximately 10.5 kilos of hashish inside a waste bin.

The drugs were confiscated and handed over to the competent authorities. The investigation is ongoing to determine the origin of the narcotic and its potential links to drug trafficking activities in the area.
