Catalonia’s Mossos d’Esquadra dismantled a cannabis plantation inside an industrial warehouse in Rubí, Vallès Occidental, and arrested a 26-year-old man as its alleged keeper.[1][2] On 29 October, officers entered and searched the warehouse and detained the man inside.[3][2][4] The detainee was brought before the Rubí court on 31 October.[5]

Officers seized 1,013 cannabis plants and about 23.5 kg of buds during the search of the warehouse.[1][2][4] The warehouse held the full infrastructure needed to grow cannabis.[1] Police found the unit illegally connected to the power grid, with an alleged electricity fraud of about 100,000 euros.[1][2][4]

The investigation began after Catalan police suspected the building housed a cannabis plantation.[1][2] The investigation was led by the Investigation Unit of the Rubí police station.[4] Technicians from an electricity company corroborated those suspicions by confirming that the installation was illegally connected to the grid and had high consumption.[2] The man was treated as the alleged perpetrator of an offence against public health and an electricity-fraud offence.[3][2][4] The grow was located in an industrial warehouse in Rubí.[5][2]
