Dramatic footage of a boat chase has been released by Spanish police as officers seized a huge haul of drugs and arrested more than 60 people.<\/p>\n

Spain’s<\/a><\/strong> Guardia Civil has shared footage showing one of its speed boats pursuing a vessel during the operation to tackle drug trafficking.<\/p>\n

The force said 63 people have been arrested after officers seized more than 12,000 kilos of hashish and 630 kilos of cocaine along the Andalusian coast and the Guadalquivir river.<\/p>\n

Police also confiscated 13 boats as part of Operation Arrow, which was set up to tackle drug trafficking organisations operating along Spain’s southern coast.<\/p>\n

The Guardia Civil said more than 12,000 litres of fuel has been seized as part of the operation – reducing the logistical capabilities of criminal groups operating in the area.<\/p>\n
