Fifteen people were arrested this month in Spain for smuggling Moroccan migrants into the country on water scooters, authorities said on Saturday, terming it a "very dangerous practice."
The revelation came as Europe's migrant crisis snowballed with Austrian police rescuing a group of dehydrated migrants found in a truck, days after the bodies of 71 migrants, believed to be Syrian, were found in an abandoned former poultry lorry.
"In August, 15 people were arrested for bringing Moroccan migrants to Spanish shores," the Guardia Civil, a paramilitary police force, said in a statement without specifying the nationality of those held.
In the last 72 hours alone "six water scooters were intercepted while depositing immigrants" off the coast of Tarifa on Spain's southernmost tip, which is separated from Morocco by only 14 kilometres (8 miles) of water.
Each water scooter brought over between two and three migrants across the Strait of Gibraltar and "posed a serious risk to the lives of immigrants ...who often don't know how to swim," the statement said.
Some people smugglers also bring in large quantities of hashish from Morocco, often weighing up to 30 kilogrammes, a source in the Guardia Civil told AFP.
One kilo of hashish from Morocco's Rif region has a street value of 1,600 euros ($1,800) in Spain.
Not for nuthin' but as long as they have ranks and uniforms all police forces are paramilitary organizations.
The need to stop them with laser beams . . . on sharks.
Why is there no overwhelming demand to invade Muzzie countries?

Boy Scouts too.
Most of the Syrians are going through Turkey to get to Europe. So why aren’t they seeking refuge in the Muslim paradise of Turkey?
You know why, the Koran tells them not to mooch off of fellow Muslims, but to mooch off of the infidel and expand the Caliphate.
Good Point. Turkey is NATO. That should be good enough. Why would muzzies want to go to a nonmuzzie place? Socialist Bribery?
Must have been drug dealers. Who else could afford it.
Not migrants nor immigrants .
