A total of 32 tonnes of packaged marijuana with a street value of at least €64m (£56m) were discovered. Spain’s Civil Guard said it was the largest amount ever found in the country or internationally.

In a statement, Spain’s Civil Guard said it had “seized the largest cache of packaged marijuana found so far.” “It was equivalent to about 1.1 million plants,” he added. Image: Pic: Guardia Civil Police said the gang dried the marijuana plants, packaged them and shipped them to parts of Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium. The gang was arrested in Toledo, Ciudad Real, Valencia and Asturias last month, but details of the operation were only made public on Saturday.
