YET another indoor marijuana plantation has come to light, this time in a Roquetas de Mar home. Guardia Civil began investigating the property on the back of extensive information it was being used to grow the drug. As investigations progressed it became increasingly clear this was indeed the case. When officers went in they found 114 plants, along with water deposits, air-conditioning units and other equipment for boosting the plant productivity. They also came across an illegal hook-up to the power supply, which was neutralized by technicians from the electricity company. The Guardia Civil said the investigation remains open and the arrest of those responsible has not been ruled out.
