The detainees are accused of running a Malaga-based courier service, which also distributed to Denmark, Poland and Sweden.

According to police the Brit suspects would frequently change their rented cars and apartments to keep officers off the scent.

In May 58kg of drugs was intercepted at a courier office, with another 17kg discovered in August.

Once identified, police then conducted raids on the suspects’ homes, in which they found a further 28kg of drugs.
