Local media reports that the National Police has arrested in the city of Riells i Viabrea (Girona) two people suspected of cultivating and selling marijuana, a former Albanian soldier of the French army and his wife.
Also, in the house, which had great security measures, a total of 15 different knives belonging to the arrested were found. They usurped the house where they cultivated. The house of a family, which was illegally occupied by the detainees, consisted of two floors.
The basement of the lower floor was adapted for planting, completely isolated from outside light to control the growth of the marijuana plants and to camouflage its smell as much as possible to avoid detection. The house was surrounded by surveillance cameras, all controlled by the detainee from a room with a monitor.
The investigation began after several anonymous complaints, in which it was stated that the house may have a marijuana plantation. At the beginning of the investigations, cooperation with the electricity supply company was requested for the verification of the consumption, which reached the total amount of 80,954 euros.
