Maritime police seized a high-speed boat in the natural reserve of the Berlengas and detained four Spanish nationals, in an operation targeting suspected drug trafficking. The police said 13 officers from the Maritime Police intercepted the vessel in a narrow area of the Berlengas natural reserve. A total of four boats were involved at the scene, with three other vessels fleeing once the authorities were detected. The Maritime Police managed to intercept the fast craft and take the four people into custody. Procedural steps are now underway in coordination with the Public Prosecutor, with a view to deciding on the next steps. The operation involved 13 Maritime Police officers supported by two boats, along with six officers from the Port Authorities of Peniche and Nazaré.
