Suspected drug traffickers rescue police officers at sea off Spanish coast

Oct. 5 (UPI) -- Three police officers were rescued by suspected drug traffickers they were chasing at sea off the coast of Spain, local authorities said.

On Friday morning, three Spanish maritime patrol agents attempted to intercept a boat with suspected narcotics off Costa del Sol. The agents' boat went "out of control" and hit the side of the suspects' vessel and the officers fell into the sea, Civil guard authorities said.

The suspects rescued the three police officers as a helicopter hovered over the area.

Although the four men rescued the occupants, they were arrested for drug trafficking after 80 bundles of hashish -- weighing more than three tons -- were found in the sea.

How do the cops know they weren't planning a big party,and this was their personal stash?
Anyone who isn't paranoid in 2021 just isn't thinking clearly!
