VALENCIA, Spain. – Spanish authorities in the port at Valencia have seized 1,200 kilos of pure cocaine, hidden in the false floor of a container on a freighter whose last port of call was Dominican Republic, consigned to a company in Madrid.

Sources close to the ongoing investigation said two people were arrested, one in Valencia and another in Barcelona, who apparently awaited the drug.

They said the container with the drug, which had been placed aboard the Cyprus-registry ship "Nordsea," had arrived in Valencia on February 23, from the Dominican Republic.

A previous discovery of a cocaine shipment in containers sent trough’s Valencia’s port prompted a probe of boats which had weighed anchor in Dominican Republic
