A BRITISH couple driving around Javea won’t forget a police dog called Kosmo in a hurry.
The 57-year-old man and 37-year-old woman have been arrested for drug trafficking after the dog sniffed out two plastic bags containing 48 grams of cocaine in the back of a passenger seat.
The car was pulled over on Monday at around 8.30pm after it tried to turn around to avoid a police checkpoint on Avenida de la Libertat.

The male driver tested positive for cocaine and also displayed a distinctly nervy attitude.
That led Javea Policia Local officers to believe there might be drugs in the vehicle.
Kosmo- the first member of Javea’s Canine Unit- arrived a few minutes later to confirm their suspicions.
The narcotics were removed and the couple arrested- with the driver facing an additional charge of driving under the influence of drugs.
It’s not known whether the detained Brits were tourists or residents.
