The Castellón Guardia Civil Command has delivered a double blow to drug trafficking in the province. As part of two investigations into drug trafficking and electricity fraud, officers dismantled two sophisticated indoor marijuana production centers and removed a firearm from circulation.

The first operation took place on May 20th in an industrial warehouse in Benicarló. Investigators detected anomalies in electricity consumption and suspicious ventilation systems. With a judicial order, officers searched the warehouse and found 494 cannabis sativa plants, along with surveillance cameras and high-end mobile terminals. For these actions, a 44-year-old man responsible for the plantation's maintenance was arrested.

Five days later, on May 25th, the Guardia Civil executed the second operation at a villa in Torreblanca. The property housed a large-capacity infrastructure designed for continuous year-round drug production. During this search, 867 marijuana plants in an advanced flowering stage were seized.

The most concerning discovery in Torreblanca was a short firearm with a loaded magazine, hidden among the cultivation systems. Officers arrested the plantation's custodian, a 29-year-old man, who is accused of crimes against public health, electricity fraud, and illegal possession of weapons. The judicial authority has already ordered his provisional imprisonment.
