Spanish police: We have to fight casual drug consumption

Spanish police say they are keen for British officers to work alongside them in Ibiza to tackle drugs in future.

The Guardia Civil claim there is not a drugs problem on the island but assistance is needed across borders.

This comes a year after two UK women were arrested for trying to smuggle £1.5m worth of cocaine out of Peru.

Colonel Chief Jaime Barcelo from the Guardia Civil was talking to Newsbeat's Ben Mundy.
