Hashish center with 9 tons dismantled in Sabadell and Ulldecona

One of the largest hashish logistics centers in Catalonia has fallen. The Mossos d'Esquadra have located and dismantled a warehouse with more than 9 tons of hashish hidden in an unusual system: metal boxes.

The investigation has culminated with the arrest of 10 people and simultaneous raids in various localities, including Sabadell and Ulldecona. There was also an operation in Fuengirola (Málaga), coordinated with the National Police.

The logistics center and the hiding method

Metal boxes to hide the drug

The method of storing hashish in metal boxes is unprecedented according to the Mossos, a system designed to hinder detection by security forces. This detail reveals the sophistication and organization of the criminal group managing the warehouse.

Impact of the dismantling

This strike represents a very heavy blow to hashish distribution in Catalonia, as the quantity seized is one of the largest found in years. Removing 9 tons from circulation means a direct impact on the illegal market and public security.

Simultaneous police operations

Raids in Sabadell and Ulldecona

The raids in Sabadell and Ulldecona were carried out in a coordinated manner to prevent the criminal group from rebuilding or moving the drugs to other locations. The sites are strategic in the drug trafficking logistics of the province.

Collaboration with the National Police in Fuengirola

The intervention in Fuengirola, in the province of Málaga, was conducted jointly with the National Police. This shows that the organization had branches beyond Catalonia and that its reach was interregional.

Arrests and future of the investigation

The 10 detainees

The arrested individuals are part of the structure managing the trafficking and storage of the drug. They will now be brought before the judiciary while the investigation remains open to clarify all links and possible accomplices.

Repercussions in the province of Tarragona

Although the main locations are Sabadell and Ulldecona, the operation has a direct impact on the province of Tarragona, especially Ulldecona, where one of the key points of the network is located. Residents have reacted with surprise at the scale of the operation.

The Mossos d'Esquadra confirm that this operation is part of a broader plan to combat drug trafficking affecting the entire region. Alert is maintained for possible reactions or relocation of criminal activities.
