Macro-operation against marijuana and arms trafficking in Lleida and Seròs
Around 200 officers from the Mossos are participating in the operation, which includes entries into properties and industrial warehouses
BarcelonaThe Mossos d'Esquadra have deployed a device this Tuesday at dawn in Lleida and Seròs, in El Segrià, to arrest members of a criminal network involved in the trafficking of marijuana and weapons. The operation involves around 200 agents and includes entries into properties and industrial warehouses in both towns.
One of the locations where the operation is being deployed is the La Mariola neighborhood of Lleida, where several searches have been carried out and at least one person has been arrested, as the ACN has been able to verify. Furthermore, a marijuana plantation has been found in a basement and some weapons have been seized. Technicians from the electricity company are also present at the site because those involved in the network allegedly had the supply tapped.
The operation includes personnel from the Criminal Investigation Division, the Brimo, the Arro, the scientific police and the canine unit, as well as air assets and members of the central command and the citizen security unit. The actions, which are under summary secrecy, are being carried out in coordination with the Prosecutor's Office and with court room 3 of the instruction section of the Court of Instance of Lleida.
