Spanish police have uncovered a sophisticated drug-smuggling tunnel in Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in North Africa, designed to transport hashish from Morocco into Spain.
The elaborate tunnel, hidden beneath an industrial warehouse, featured a rail system and underground cranes across three distinct levels, according to authorities.
Approximately 17 metric tons of hashish and €1.4 million in cash have been seized, and 27 people have been arrested in connection with the smuggling ring.

The case highlights Spain's critical position as a primary entry point for hashish into Europe. While drugs are typically trafficked via speedboats across the sea, this tunnel demonstrates evolving criminal methods.
