The operation began when plainclothes officers from the Sants-Montjuïc Urban Crime Group observed suspicious activity near Ventura Plaja street, where two men directed a third to load large cardboard boxes from a building into a vehicle. As the two vehicles departed, police intercepted them. One driver ignored orders to stop, fled on foot, jumped over a police car, and discarded his mobile phone in an attempt to destroy evidence, though officers recovered it. Inside his car, officers found 2 kilograms of cocaine, 20 kilograms of marijuana, and 6 kilograms of hashish. A fourth suspect was arrested nearby while returning on foot after stashing drugs in a vehicle. In the second intercepted car, officers discovered keys to a rental van and 1,800 euros in cash. The two occupants claimed to be tourists. --- ## Van Found with 117kg of Drugs and Weapon Using the geolocation system of the rental vehicle, officers traced it to a gas station in Sant Joan Despí. Inside, they found 10 boxes containing 104 kilograms of marijuana and 13 kilograms of hashish, totaling 117 kilograms of narcotics, valued at over €220,000\. Also recovered was a submachine gun with cartridges and a sound suppressor. Most of the detainees have prior criminal records for similar offences. The only one without previous convictions is now charged with [drug trafficking](https://barna.news/two-arrested-for-drug-trafficking-in/) and serious resistance to authority due to his conduct during arrest. > The suspects were brought before a judge on 22 September, accused of drug trafficking and illegal possession of weapons and explosives. ## Operation Led by Regional Police The arrests were carried out by agents from the Barcelona Regional Public Health Investigation Unit and the Sants-Montjuïc Urban Crime Group.
