You don't expect a drug drop while relaxing at the beach ...

ALGECIRAS (Agencies) You're relaxing, grabbing some rays and all of a sudden, you're in the middle of a drug drop . That's what people at Getares beach went through on Sunday morning. A heavy duty launch roared onto the sand and men were seen running off hauling fardos (literally, bales but associated largely with the drug trade) across the sand. The Guardia Civil turned up by the time the men had disappeared, but the launch (photo) was left behind and is now seized as evidence of the alleged drop. Local beaches are well known as drug drops, but that's usually in the small hours.
