🇪🇸 Guadial, Huévar del Aljarafe, Seville · Spain
The Guardia Civil dismantled a marijuana plantation inside a building in the
town of Huévar del Aljarafe, in Seville province.[1][2][3][4][5] Officers detained the
people described as responsible for the crop.[1][2][3][4][5] The plantation was indoors,
in a nave — an industrial unit or warehouse — in Guadial, an urbanización, or
planned development, within the municipality.[6] The operation took place on
Tuesday 27 October 2026.[6][2][5] The Guardia Civil officers travelled to the town
from Pilas.[7][2][4][5]
The deputy mayor, Manuel Ruiz, and the councillor for Guadial, Isabel María
Romero, attended the operation.[1][2][4][5] Ruiz said such operations showed “la
importancia de contar con cuerpos y fuerzas de seguridad del Estado”, the
importance of having state security forces.[1] He said the officers had told
him that “aunque Huévar no tenga cuartel, la Guardia Civil está pendiente del
pueblo y pendiente de la llamada de cualquier persona que lo necesite” — that
although Huévar has no barracks, the Guardia Civil keeps watch on the town and
answers anyone who calls.[1]
The town hall publicly thanked the Guardia Civil for the operation.[6][2][3][4][5]
The town hall said it hoped the operation would keep Guadial residents from again living alongside drug-trafficking activity.[4]

- No charges, court appearance or sentence was reported.
- The images on the cited pages are archive photographs of cannabis crops and a picture of the two councillors, not photographs of this plantation.
- Guadial is described only as an urbanización; the reports do not say whether the nave stands in a residential or an industrial area.
