The National Police have dismantled a sophisticated hydroponic marijuana farm with nearly 300 plants inside a house on the outskirts of La Vila. The property was equipped with numerous security measures such as cameras, motion sensors, a closed-circuit television system, and even two large dogs that alerted if anyone approached the premises.
According to a statement from the security force, two individuals have been arrested: a 31-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman, of whom only one had a criminal record, as alleged perpetrators of a crime against public health. One of them was brought before the Villajoyosa Guard Court.
The operation began in early October 2024, after receiving information about the existence of a marijuana farm in a house in a village of La Vila. This property had "ideal characteristics for this illicit activity," police sources explained. The house had a large area, multiple exits, and a perimeter fence with tall vegetation.
Officers confirmed that a strong smell of marijuana emanated from the house and discovered several air conditioning units used to maintain the plantation. Some windows were bricked up, and two dogs guarded the surroundings. The individuals responsible for the plantation used a vehicle to transport materials to the house and met with "people linked to other police investigations."

After confirming all the facts, the National Police carried out the two arrests and conducted searches in properties related to the suspects. During the searches, officers seized 292 marijuana plants in an advanced state of flowering, a package containing 21.3 grams of cocaine, another with 8.3 grams of TUSI or pink powder, five MDMA pills weighing 2.8 grams, and a complete hydroponic cultivation infrastructure, including specific tools for drug production and distribution.
Additionally, 2,550 euros in various denominations were found, along with an electricity supply contract for the house where the plantation was located in the name of one of the detainees, as well as a precision scale and accounting notes of the cultivation. A revolver air gun with air bottles, metal pellets, rubber, and the vehicle used for transporting the material were also seized.
