This is the moment a drug trafficking boat was chased and seized by the Guardia Civil off the coast of Andalucia on Saturday.
Footage shared by the force shows the vessel in hot pursuit in the waters of Isla Cristina in Huelva.
Police said the boat was captured and its captain and crew member were arrested.
The Guardia Civil said in a press release: ‘This afternoon, the captain and one of the crew members of a high-speed vessel linked to drug trafficking have been detained.
‘One of the occupants attempted to flee by swimming to the beach, trying to go unnoticed among the bathers.
‘He was intercepted by a land patrol.
‘The vessel’s captain took flight at high speed, and was ultimately intercepted and detained by the Provincial Maritime Service.
‘The vessel has been seized.’
It comes after police unions have repeatedly warned of increased narco activity in Huelva province.
Drug traffickers are increasingly using different parts of the Andalucia coast to bring drugs into Spain.
