Police in Spain have arrested an âextremely slipperyâ fugitive alleged drug-trafficker after staking out the first holy communion party he was attending and using a drone to track him as he tried to escape through an orange grove.
The man, referred to by the initials DJCM, had been on the run since last July, when police broke up a major drug gang, arresting 30 people and seizing more than 5 tonnes of hashish, 2kg of cocaine, dozens of cars, a Kalashnikov assault rifle and more than â¬100,000.
According to a statement from the Guardia Civil, DJCM was responsible for the gangâs logistical infrastructure.
