- In Córdoba’s Los Mochos neighborhood, the Policía Nacional reported two arrests and the seizure of 800 plants, cocaine, heroin, a shotgun and cash, with one detainee later released with charges.
- In Torrent, officers arrested a 47-year-old suspect and confiscated around 600 plants, more than €23,000, cultivation gear and several bladed weapons, as inquiries continue into distribution networks and possible organized crime ties.
