Customers of the gang suspected of manufacturing them included criminal gangs in Denmark, France, Italy and Spain, police said.
Police said it was the first time they had seized such devices, which are officially known as unmanned underwater vehicles .
"These devices could allow drug traffickers to transport large quantities of narcotics remotely across the Strait of Gibraltar," the statement said. The gang also manufactured aerial drones, with police seizing several large UAVs with 12 motors each and a range of 30 kilometers, more than enough to cross the 15-kilometer strait between Spain and Morocco.One of the drug-laden devices was"intercepted when it was on its way to Denmark aboard a tow truck with the intention of avoiding possible police checks," police said.
the operation, which lasted 14 months, concluded with the arrest of eight people. Six of the detainees, who are accused of drug trafficking and belonging to a criminal organization, have been remanded in custody.
