Cops swooped on a suspected narco-boat crew after finding them hiding among the rocks at a beauty spot.

Dramatic footage shows armed officers aiming their guns at the men as they cowered in a narrow crevice.

The suspects were ordered out, scrambled along the water’s edge and forced to lie face-down on the rocky beach.

They were then cuffed and airlifted from the cove under heavy police guard.

The dramatic scenes unfolded between Playazo de Rodalquilar and Cala Bergantín in Cabo de Gata, Almería, Spain.

The stunning area – one of the last unspoiled stretches of the Mediterranean – has become a hotspot for traffickers trying to move drugs unseen, as reported by Need To Know.

The Civil Guard said: “The events took place last Tuesday (9 Sept) around midday, when the vessel was spotted.

“After abandoning it, the suspects fled to hide. Both were arrested and flown by helicopter to police facilities.”

Local Tania said: “Amazing, and the cove is spectacular.”
