Nineteen bales of the drug were found on the San Miguel Beach in Almerimar and are believed to have been brought onto the shore only shortly before officers arrived on the scene. One man was taken into custody, while other suspects managed to flee and escape arrest.

In neighbouring Granada, a man and his wife who supplied dealers across the province with marijuana were arrested in a National Police operation after three months of investigation. Four greenhouses containing more than 400 plants were found in their home in Pinos Puente. The plantation was powered with electricity stolen through a hook-up to the public lighting supply. More than 46,000 € were found in the premises.

Another greenhouse discovered in Málaga province was also powered with electricity from the public supply. A man and a woman were taken into custody and 91 marijuana plants were confiscated.
