Second narco tunnel is discovered between Morocco and Spanish exclave of Ceuta

A SECOND narco tunnel has been uncovered in an industrial park in Ceuta, near the exclave’s border with Morocco.

The discovery was made at the Tarajal industrial park by a huge deployment of over 250 police officers specialising in drug-trafficking and organised crime on the afternoon of March 28.

Authorities are still examining the tunnel but it is believed to have enabled traffickers to avoid border controls.

A steady flow of hashish shipments from Morocco is suspected to have passed through the tunnel on route to various destinations across Spain and France.

Numerous properties were also searched.

Ten suspects were brought before a judge this morning in Ceuta to face charges related to the investigation.

The first, located 12 metres underground and discovered in February 2025, led to several arrests, including two Guardia Civil officers.
