Overview
- Guardia Civil investigators uncovered a linked network in Manzanares el Real and Hormigos, seizing 836 plants and 7.9 kilograms of dried cannabis after court-authorized searches of three properties.
- Eight people were detained and one person was placed under investigation in the Madrid–Toledo case, with alleged leaders among those arrested on suspected public health, electricity fraud, and criminal organization offenses.
- In a separate action in Pedreguer (Alicante), Policía Nacional officers found 264 plants, 2,854 grams of processed cannabis, a sophisticated hydroponic setup, and an illegal power connection, arresting a man and a woman aged 67 and 68.
- The Alicante probe was triggered by strong odors, closed windows, and a continuously running industrial air unit that indicated a concealed indoor plantation.
- Both cases proceed under judicial oversight, and police encourage information via 091, official web channels, the antidroga@policia.es email address, or local stations.
