Two indoor plantations dismantled in Córdoba after months of investigation
The National Police arrested two people and seized more than 100 kilogrammes of cannabis when they dismantled two intensive cultivation plantations on a plot of land in Córdoba, according to ABC. The operation, named 'Stars', is part of the fight against medium and large-scale drug trafficking that security forces have been conducting in the province since the beginning of the year.
The investigation began in September 2025, when officers detected signs of an indoor cultivation in a parcel of land in the locality. During the following months, the enquiry confirmed that all phases of production were taking place at the property: cultivation, drying and packaging of cannabis in large quantities. Two people linked to a larger criminal organisation were guarding the installation.
On 12 May, with a judicial warrant for entry and search, officers accessed the property. Inside, they found two large-scale indoor plantations in the drying phase, with more than 100 kilogrammes of buds ready for packaging and distribution on the illicit market.
In addition to the drug, officers seized 440 euros in cash and specialised material for the maintenance of the crops. As regards weapons, two firearms were seized, along with machetes and knives which the occupants had kept to protect the installation and the stored substance.
The two arrested individuals are being treated as suspected perpetrators of drug trafficking offences, fraud of electricity supply and illegal possession of weapons. One of them was remanded in custody following the operation.
The National Police have reminded citizens that they can report any information about drug trafficking anonymously via the email [email protected] or through the National Police website, where there is a specific section for this purpose.
