Mallorca hashish arrests: child in back seat of car

In Palma, Mallorca, police find packets of hashish beneath a car’s front passenger seat while a young child sits in the back, and arrest the driver and his passenger. A patrol stopped the car in the Pere Garau neighbourhood last Wednesday afternoon after seeing an exchange between the vehicle and a pedestrian, Spain’s National Police said on Monday.

Officers found several packets of hashish, each weighing about 700 grams. One of the men had more than 600 euros in assorted notes in his trouser pocket.

The driver had no driving licence. The car also had no compulsory insurance and had not passed its ITV vehicle inspection. Both men were arrested on suspicion of drug dealing, and the driver was also accused of a road-safety offence. Police called a relative to take care of the child.
