Overview

  • In Fuengirola, officers shut down a private cannabis club for the third time this year, seizing 13 kilograms of marijuana, 130 joints, edibles, hashish, cash, precision scales and safes and arresting a 33-year-old employee.
  • In Molina de Segura, authorities uncovered an indoor marijuana drying facility with fraudulent power hookups and armored doors, confiscating over 15 kilograms of buds plus cocaine, hashish and detaining four suspects.
  • In Valencia’s Ruzafa district police arrested a 32-year-old woman and a 48-year-old man after finding nearly a kilogram of marijuana, more than 80 grams of hashish and €1,790 in cash at a cannabis association.
  • Investigators opened administrative proceedings against the Valencia operation for serious licensing and admission control violations, issuing four minor and two major infractions.
  • These actions build on a series of national and local police operations since late 2024 targeting the misuse of legal cannabis associations and advanced indoor cultivation networks.
