The Mossos d'Esquadra have arrested the driver of a vehicle in Sant Celoni (Barcelona) when he was transporting almost 10 kilos of cocaine on the AP-7 motorway.
The Catalan police reported this Sunday that the arrest of this 51-year-old man took place on July 23.
The agents were doing a checkpoint at kilometer 111 of the AP-7, in the municipality of Sant Celoni, when they stopped a vehicle occupied by a man and a woman.
Upon identifying them, the Mossos detected that the driver's data did not match those of the owner of the vehicle and that, as they spoke to the driver about his relationship with the owner, the man became very nervous.
When searching the luggage rack, the agents located a sports bag with 9,907 grams of cocaine, which would be valued at more than 346,000 euros.
The driver of the vehicle was arrested for his alleged relationship with a crime of drug trafficking and the companion was criminally denounced for the same facts.
