Two large speedboats found hidden in warehouse raid

Police in Murcia have found two large speedboats hidden inside warehouses in Molina de Segura and arrested the alleged owner, who is also said to have had a Kalashnikov rifle.

Sources close to the case said the vessels were discovered by the Policía Nacional during an operation that remains under judicial seal. Officers are now trying to establish whether the boats were used to move drugs or migrants along the region’s coast.

The suspect is reported to be a resident of Las Torres de Cotillas. No further details have been released publicly, and investigators have not said how long the boats had been stored there.

The discovery comes as Spanish police and customs officers continue to focus on the growing use of high-powered boats on the Murcia coast, where they are regularly linked to smuggling routes and support networks on land.

Investigation remains open

At this stage, police have only confirmed the recovery of the two vessels and the arrest of one man. The case remains under secrecy, which means investigators have not yet disclosed the exact location of the warehouses, the origin of the boats or whether more arrests are expected.

Officials have not said whether the seizure is connected to any wider network in the region.
