Twenty-one people from Spain, France, Britain, Morocco and Chile have been arrested, police said in a statement.

Thirteen have been charged with drug smuggling after the police operation in the southern Spanish regions of Malaga and Cadiz, and the Spanish territory of Ceuta in Morocco.

Police said members of the gang concealed hashish in the mattresses of prams and then placed a baby -- often a newborn -- inside.

This was to avoid arousing the suspicion of customs officials as the drugs were taken into Spain, police allege.

Once the drugs arrived in Spain, they were placed in cars and transported to France, the statement added.

Members of the gang are also accused of smuggling cocaine by disguising it as chocolate bars, which were sent in the post.

Others allegedly stole cars and sold them in Morocco.

What on earth did god do when he created monsters like this.
I am beginning to believe there is more evil in the world than good.
Sorry but this has made me so mad.
In GB they are now dressing up in burkas to rob places. Whom in the end will you be able to trust.
