The Guardia Civil in Zaragoza detained seven people and is investigating five more over the looting of an industrial warehouse where a marijuana plantation had been dismantled and the premises sealed by court order.[1] The twelve people identified are ten men and two women aged between 24 and 48, eleven of them Spanish and one Romanian.[1] All twelve are accused of robbery with force against property and of breaking a court-ordered closure or seal for entering premises that had passed under judicial control after the police operation.[1]

The warehouse, in the Empresarium business park in La Cartuja Baja, was closed and sealed by court order after the Guardia Civil dismantled the plantation inside in early September 2026, with part of its technical equipment still in place.[1] Officers on surveillance duties found the judicial seals and the access doors forced in mid-September, and their investigation established that between 16 and 20 September different groups entered the property repeatedly to carry the material away.[1]

The suspects used about ten vehicles, among them cars, utility vehicles and rented vans, to remove the equipment gradually.[1] The stolen material included high-power LED lamps, air extractors, turbines, main electrical panels, transformers and suspension cabling.[1] The Guardia Civil valued the stolen items at thousands of euros but published no exact figure.[1]
