This is the moment a suspected drug smuggling boat landed on a popular beach in Andalucia.
The footage, shared on Monday, shows the so-called narcolancha arriving at the coast of Torre de Balerma in Almeria.
In broad daylight, a hooded young man dressed in all black is seen covering his face as he stands on the beach while holding a white bag, which has a package inside.
In front of shocked tourists and locals, he hands the package to another man who is laying on his stomach on the very front end of the vessel with his arms reaching forward.
After the exchange is made, the delivery man is seen running back up the beach and fleeing the area.
Meanwhile, the semi-rigid vessel quickly pulls away from the shore to get back out to sea.
These types of boats are often used for smuggling and drug trafficking due to their speed and cargo capacity.
This week, it was revealed how human traffickers can make hundreds of thousands of euros for every vessel sent to Spain packed with migrants.
It comes after two men who steered a packed migrant boat from the Algerian coast to Almeria had their five-year prison sentences confirmed by Andalucía’s High Court (TSJA) last week.
Judges ruled that the pair endangered the lives of the 29 people on board, each of whom had reportedly paid around €8,000 for the clandestine journey.
It means the smugglers had collected €232,000 before the vessel had even left for the coast of Andalucia.
