They dismantle 4,000 marijuana plants in a forest with difficult access in Baix Camp

4,000 marijuana plants caught in a place that looks more like a labyrinth than a cultivation field. Three men were arrested while trying to escape. An operation that left everyone speechless.

The Mossos d'Esquadra acted on June 4, 2026, in a wooded area of Baix Camp where access is almost impossible. The find was in 30 makeshift greenhouses, a genuine green factory hidden among trees and slopes.

The find in the forest: a cultivation with difficult access

The place and the scale of the cultivation

The cultivation was located in a natural area that was complicated to locate and even more so to access. It was a wooded zone that made a quick escape nearly impossible, but it seems that did not stop the three involved.

The Mossos found 4,000 plants spread across 30 greenhouses that, although makeshift, were organized to maximize production and protect the harvest from any prying eyes.

The police response

The operation ended with the arrest of three men who, upon seeing the officers arrive, tried unsuccessfully to escape. The Mossos' quickness was key to preventing their flight and dismantling the entire cultivation.

According to the police force, coordination and experience made the difference in this type of operation in such difficult areas.

Context and implications of the cultivation

Illegal marijuana in Baix Camp

This dismantling sheds light on the growing presence of illegal crops in remote areas of the province. The difficulty of access makes these plantations a challenge for security forces.

Cultivation in makeshift greenhouses is a common method to protect plants from bad weather and possible detection, which further complicates their location.

Impact on local security

Having these plantations hidden in wooded areas involves risks such as illegal drug trafficking, possible conflicts, and also environmental impacts. Police intervention helps prevent these risks from turning into more serious problems for the community.

Moreover, the arrest of those involved serves as a warning to future organizations that want to establish similar crops.

Arrests and subsequent procedures

The detainees

Three men were arrested after trying to flee the scene. Their identities have not been disclosed, but they are in police custody while the investigation continues.

The alleged connection to the illegal cultivation is the main focus of the charges they will face.

Investigation and follow-up

The Mossos continue analyzing the case to determine if there are more involved or if these plantations are part of a larger network. The complexity of the location and the number of plants make it an operation that must be closely monitored.

Local authorities and security forces are on alert after this blow to prevent new cultivations in similar areas.

As nature does not forgive, makeshift greenhouses are not immune to investigation by the Mossos.
