Yacht sank under tow after drug seizure
The 'Petrel I', arrived in Vigo on Feb 28, 2024, with a detainee and 200 kilos of drugs, which were seized 500 miles from the Canary Islands in a joint operation by the Civil Guard and the National Police that allowed them to intercept a Venezuelan-flagged sailboat, which was transporting eight bales of cocaine. A Portuguese citizen was traveling alone on board the yacht and was detained, while the seized drugs were transferred to the Customs Surveillance patrol boat. The narcotic substance was distributed throughout the interior of the boat, without any type of concealment given the small dimensions of the 11-m-sailboat. When it was being towed, the sailboat, in a deteriorated state, sank, so the 'Petrel' returned to Vigo with the drugs and the detainee.
