Revellers winding down the last moments of summer of in Ibiza will be without a spring in their step today after reports have emerged detailing an enormous drug bust has been conducted on the party island, with Spanish and British police forces arresting 24 people suspected of drug trafficking.

As reported by The Guardian, Spanish and British officials had been working together on an operation to bust up a British-run gang on the island and this week they put that operation – ‘Operation Arrow’ which pales in comparison to Australia’s own ‘Operation Pinger’ – into effect. As well as the 24 arrests, the cops brought in a mighty haul of product, seizing an alleged ‘38,000 tablets of ecstasy, cocaine, ketamine, GHB, MDMA and mephedrone’ as well as an ‘hydraulic tablet press and €40,000’ in cash.

According to the report the drug gang had set up its distribution empire on the island by employing bar and club staff at night-spots on the island to sell to partying clubbers and had used scores of British students as drug mules, shipping them off from the UK “on low-cost flights with pills in their suitcases” or in the case of one young girl, 3kg of cocaine. Yikes.
