Agents of the Mossos d’Esquadra dismantled an outdoor cannabis plantation in a wooded area of La Febró, in the Baix Camp region of Tarragona, on the morning of 3 June 2026 and arrested three men who were caring for it.[1][2] The three, aged 18, 32 and 35, are accused of drug trafficking and belonging to a criminal group.[1][2]

Officers from the citizen security unit at the Reus police station reached the plot along a footpath and found 3,982 plants more than a metre tall, spread across about 30 greenhouses built by hand from cane, plastic and rope.[1][2] The crop had its own irrigation system, fed by a waterproof pond dug into the ground, and a camp with several tents a few metres away, where the officers found food, drinks, backpacks, clothes, rubbish bags and plant-protection products.[1][2]

The three men tried to flee when they saw the officers and were caught.[1][2] The Mossos then dismantled the camp and the irrigation infrastructure with judicial authorisation.[1] They said they would keep searching the area for other plantations, or old ones that might have been revived.[1]

The detainees were due before the investigating court on duty in Reus in the following hours.[1][2]
