Casillas, Spain – The Civil Guard in Murcia has dismantled an illicit indoor cannabis operation inside a former, unused restaurant in the village of Casillas.

During the operation, named ‘Redsin,’ officers seized around 1,000 cannabis plants and one kilogram of marijuana buds ready for sale. The greenhouse was equipped with lighting, heating, irrigation, and ventilation systems, along with other tools necessary for indoor cultivation.

Investigators determined that the building, although no longer functioning as a restaurant, was frequently visited by various individuals. The site was used not only to grow the plants but also to dry, package, and prepare them for distribution.

The property was fraudulently connected to the electrical network to power the operation. Judicial authorization allowed the Civil Guard to search both the restaurant and the upstairs residence of one of the suspects.

A large number of devices were confiscated, including lights, fans, air conditioning units, carbon filters, and water tanks—all employed for the indoor cultivation of cannabis.

The operation concluded with the arrest of two individuals, suspected of crimes against public health for cultivation and production of drugs, as well as electricity fraud.
