Civil Guard officers arrested two individuals on 20 April as they attempted to enter Andorra with one kilogram of hashish concealed in an Andorran-registered vehicle.
The stop occurred around 2pm at the Farga de Moles border crossing during a routine check on a car travelling from Spain into the Principality. Officers noted the occupants' nervous demeanour and conflicting explanations regarding 235 euros in small-denomination notes they were carrying.
A thorough search uncovered a bag on the rear seats holding the hashish, along with three 10-gram packets—described in reports as either marijuana or CBD—a precision scale typically linked to drug distribution, and the cash. All items were seized.
Proceedings have been initiated against the pair for alleged public health offences. The operation forms part of coordinated customs controls between the Civil Guard's fiscal unit and Andorra's Customs and Excise Administration—also referred to in some accounts as the Tax Agency—aimed at curbing drug trafficking, smuggling, and related fiscal crimes to enhance border security.
