Elderly couple arrested on drug trafficking charges

A couple in their seventies have been arrested in Málaga on charges of cocaine trafficking.

Police followed a 79-year-old man in the city after they discovered him trying to arrange a sale.

He was soon arrested, and a search of his home yielded 93.5 grams of cocaine in rock form, two sets of scales, a hunting rifle with cartridges and a blank pistol.

The suspect’s 72-year-old wife was also arrested on public health charges.
