High Tech marihuana bust in Benalmádena basement: "900 plants were growing in the basement of a villa owned by a British man.
National Police have discovered a Marihuana plantation with as many as 900 plants in the basement of a luxury detached chalet, complete with swimming pool, in Calle Petunia, Benalmádena.
Police have arrested 15 people of different nationalities, and all except two of them have been sent to the prison in Alhaurín de la Torre. They are accused of trafficking in drugs from Morocco as well as the plants found in Benalmádena.
Police say a British man lived in the villa, but think he was obeying instructions from the gang’s chief who is Dutch.
Police estimate that 70,000 € was spent on the basement of the property making it suitable for production. It was divided into three areas, one for seeding, one for growing the plants upto 2 metres in height, and the third for drying. Special lamps and reflective materials were used, along with instruments to control the humidity. It’s thought the basement was capable of producing four crops a year.
Police recovered 130 kilos of the drug, of which 30 was already prepared ready for sale. Seeds from the different varieties of Marihuana, known as Melon Gum, Spicy White Devil, Blue Rhino, and Cheese were also recovered."
