Four cops are recovering after they were shot raiding a house – over a probe into criminals sending drugs to Ireland from Spain by post, it has emerged.
The Mirror has learned that the four Guardia Civil officers were shot as they tried to enter a house near Alicante last week as part of the probe.
The raid was part of Operation Sarpa – set up to combat a gang of Spanish criminals who were believed to be sending cannabis to Ireland through the post.
