The number of Spaniards involved in tobacco offences in Gibraltar is on the increase.
Further arrests for possession of commercial quantities of tobacco were carried out on Tuesday by the RGP.
In one of the incidents a 25 year old male Spanish national resident in La Linea was arrested in Fish Market Road for being in possession of 4,000 cigarettes. He was taken to New Mole House Police Station where he accepted a caution for the offence.
Later that evening, at Europa Road, police arrested three Spanish nationals resident in La Linea when they were found in possession of 40,000 cigarettes. Two were females aged 20 and 38, and another was a 20-year old male. They have been granted police bail pending further enquiries.
