Spanish police have revealed that Ibiza drug dealers sell an estimated 40,000 ecstasy pills a night just as a new study of 3,000 Balearic tourists showed that one in five use ecstasy and the same proportion cocaine during their holidays.

A police spokesperson said most of the dealers are from Manchester or Liverpool though are difficult to catch.

“The British do not use locals to sell, only other British people, and they are selling it mostly to foreigners to avoid accidentally selling to an undercover officer,’ he told the Daily Mirror, “As a result it is very difficult to penetrate these groups,” he added.

Speaking to the Telegraph a ‘police source’ said ‘“This summer looks bad, worse even than previous years.

“It is proving very difficult to do an effective job,” the source added. “We have a team of only 15 drug enforcers across the whole island and only one vehicle.”

In related news, Britain’s Foreign Office revealed that 944 Brits were arrested for drugs offences worldwide last year representing one in seven of all arrest for Brits overseas (between April 2009 and March 2010).

The report revealed that Thailand has the highest arrest rate for Brits per thousand generally with Dubai close behind in second place.

“This report shines a light on the number of Britons who get into difficulty abroad each year,” said UK Minister Jeremy Browne, “The worrying fact is that so many of these situations are preventable.”

“It is illegal to have sex or cohabit outside marriage, including in hotels,” the report also warned (speaking specifically about Dubai) “Pregnancy outside marriage can lead to imprisonment. Adultery, cross-dressing and homosexual behaviour are illegal.”
