More than one thousand marijuana plants have been seized in police operations carried out in the towns of Alcoy, Cocentaina, and l'Alqueria d'Asnar, according to authorities.

The intervention, which took place on May 11, 2026, has allowed for the dismantling of several illegal cannabis cultivations in these towns within the el Comtat region.
Police actions are part of the fight against drug trafficking and the illegal production of narcotic substances in the region. These operations aim to reduce the availability of drugs on the market and protect public health.
Investigations remain open to determine the full extent of the networks involved in these cultivations and to identify potential additional perpetrators.
