The Mossos d'Esquadra arrested on May 5 in Llagostera a 51-year-old man and a 44-year-old woman for an alleged marijuana cultivation inside a dwelling in the municipality. The operation was carried out by the Investigation Unit of the Girona police station after opening an investigation due to indications of an indoor plantation.

The search uncovered a setup prepared to keep almost 600 plants inside the house. Agents located 597 marijuana plants and, in addition to the charge of a crime against public health and drug trafficking, they attributed to the two arrested individuals an alleged fraud of electrical fluid due to a direct connection to the grid.

The investigation began when the Mossos detected signs of an indoor cultivation in the property in Llagostera. Based on these checks, the Girona investigation unit requested and executed the entry and search of the home.

Inside the house, agents found specific material to maintain the plantation. The intervention included two air filters, seven LED light panels, two fans, two air conditioning units, an extractor, fifteen lights, and twenty-three transformers.

The electrical installation was another of the elements that focused the police action. During the inspection, the Mossos detected an electrical connection directly to the grid, a finding that led to the charge of defrauding electrical power.

Both detainees, aged 51 and 44, were charged with an alleged crime against public health, drug trafficking, and electricity fraud. The action is part of an investigation undertaken by the Girona police station in a dwelling located in Llagostera.

In the search, agents also seized twenty-three transformers, seven led light panels, and fifteen lights along with two air filters, two fans, two air conditioning units, and an extractor.
