A British couple has been arrested in a popular holiday destination after local authorities found a substantial amount of cocaine concealed in their car. The pair, whose identities have not yet been disclosed, were detained following a routine traffic stop that escalated into a full-scale drug bust.
According to reports, the vehicle was searched after officers noticed suspicious behaviour. The discovery of the illicit substance led to their immediate arrest, with both now facing serious charges related to drug trafficking.
The incident has sent shockwaves through the expatriate community in the area, which is frequented by British tourists. Local law enforcement has warned that such offences carry severe penalties, including lengthy prison sentences.
This case highlights the risks associated with drug smuggling and serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of engaging in illegal activities abroad. The Foreign Office has yet to comment on whether consular assistance is being provided to the couple.
