Cocaine arrest at Gibraltar border

AFTER being stopped as he entered Gibraltar on a BMW motorbike, a local man aged 29 was found to be in possession of a piece of cocaine weighing approximately 75 grams.

Officers of HM Customs first searched the vehicle, assisted with specialist drug itemiser detectors, which gave a high reading to the presence of cocaine and continued with a full body search that produced a package of cocaine concealed in his underwear.

After transferring their attention to his residence, no additional drugs were found but the man has been accused of possession of the drug valued at £3,500 with intent to supply and has been released on police bail until April 24.
