Police Dismantle 800-Square-Meter Underground Cannabis Farm Beneath Poultry Facility in Torrijos

Investigators traced a late-2025 tip to a hidden complex on a 15,000 m² property posing as a livestock operation.

Overview

  • Officers seized 932 cannabis plants and arrested the two principal suspects following coordinated searches of the farm and a residence.
  • The subterranean installation comprised five rooms equipped with air conditioning, extractors, transformers, electrical panels, lamps, fans and humidifiers to sustain intensive cultivation.
  • The setup was designed to mask marijuana odor with animal smells from the surface buildings and to evade detection through layered concealment.
  • The alleged ringleader was detained after attempting to flee upon spotting police on security cameras that monitored the site in real time.
  • The detainees are under investigation for drug trafficking and electricity fraud, with one outlet also reporting 2.687 kilograms seized and a separate Nambroca case involving 606 plants.
