La Guardia Civil has successfully dismantled an indoor cannabis farm located in a warehouse in Almoradí. This operation, named ‘Torsi-Twenty Five’, led to the arrest of a thirty-seven-year-old British man, who is suspected of committing a public health offence. The investigation began with vital citizen reports about unusual noises coming from the vicinity of the industrial building, particularly during the night.

Following the alerts, officers conducted surveillance and observed suspicious activity around the location, which raised their suspicions of illegal cannabis cultivation. With sufficient evidence gathered, they obtained a warrant to search the premises and arrested the suspect as he attempted to leave.

During the search, agents found the warehouse cleverly concealed with partitions made from plasterboard and hidden doors, designed to obscure a sophisticated cannabis cultivation operation. The setup included an automated system for irrigation, lighting, and ventilation, allowing for minimal human presence during growing operations.

Overall, the Guardia Civil seized six hundred and sixteen cannabis plants, seventy-nine lamps, and various equipment, including extraction tubes and fertilisers. They also discovered that the operation had an illegal connection to the electrical network. The arrested individual, who has a history of similar offences, has been placed under precautionary measures by the Court of Instruction number one in Orihuela, though he has been released from custody.
