Police in Spain said Sunday they had smashed a drug trafficking ring with the arrest of 13 mostly Moroccan men in Barcelona and the seizure of narcotics worth 41,000 euros (64,000 dollars), AFP informed.
The 13, three Spanish nationals and ten Moroccans between the ages of 18 and 51, were arrested on Thursday following an investigation that lasted several months, police said in a statement.
"The operation remains open and more detentions have not been ruled out," it said.
Police seized cocaine worth 5,000 euros and hashish worth 36,000 euros, as well as scales and tools to prepare the drugs, and machetes and fake guns during searches of five homes.
Spain, with its extensive southern coastline, is Europe's main entry point for Moroccan hashish and cocaine from South America, mostly from its former colony Colombia, the world's biggest producer of the drug.
