Joint operation of the Tax Agency and the National Police

• Four people have been arrested in an operation that also led to the seizure of two marijuana plantations, two shotguns and a large amount of ammunition

 October 11, 2023.- The Customs Surveillance Service of the Tax Agency, in a joint operation with the National Police, has seized 2,200 kilos of hashish in a 'nursery' located in a district of Las Cabezas de San Juan (Seville), which served as a logistical point for the reception of the drugs that the organizations transport up the Guadalquivir River.

In addition, four people have been arrested for their alleged involvement in drug trafficking and illegal possession of weapons.

The investigation began at the beginning of summer, when officers detected suspicious movements near the Guadalquivir, near the municipality of Seville.

As a result of the investigations carried out, several individuals were identified who were responsible for collecting large batches of hashish in various stash areas along the river and then storing it in a country house far from the town centre, which made the police investigation difficult.

Following initial investigations last September, the criminal organisation's premises were raided, resulting in the seizure of 2,200 kilos of hashish, two large marijuana plantations and two shotguns with plenty of ammunition. Four individuals were also arrested.

All the items seized and the people arrested were placed at the disposal of the Court of Instruction No. 2 of Lebrija, which has directed the investigation, with further arrests not being ruled out.

The operation was carried out by agents from the Seville Operational Unit of the Customs Surveillance Service of the Tax Agency and the National Police of Dos Hermanas.
