Man arrested for cultivating marijuana

            A 26 year old man was arrested for growing marijuana not only outdoors on his terrace but also indoors in a bedroom of the house he was living in El Parador de la Asuncion near Roquetas. The Guardia Civil obtained a search warrant for the suspect’s home after the plants on the terrace were spotted partially hidden by a greenhouse type structure. On searching the house they found eighteen plants growing in pots on the terrace, most of which were more than a metre tall, another 20 plants being grown under artificial lighting in a bedroom, 26 marijuana cuttings in the living room, and several marijuana buds in the main bedroom along with grinders and a press.

            The substances confiscated are pending official analysis and weighing in the health service laboratories in the Port of Almeria.
