Police seize 132 kilos of drugs hidden in rubbish bins in Portimão

Police in Portimão have seized 132 kilos of drugs which they found hidden in rubbish bins.

The haul was made after a tip-off of suspicious activity in the Praia da Rocha area during the early hours of last Friday morning. Maritime Police were immediately dispatched to the location and passed a foreign-registered vehicle travelling at high speed matching the description of the tip-off. A chase ensued during which the getaway car swerved and crashed, and the suspects fled on foot. Police then inspected the area and found the drugs in a bin; the case has now been handed over to the PJ police.
