An extensive operation by the Mossos d'Esquadra was deployed this Friday morning in the Sant Cosme neighborhood of El Prat de Llobregat, with the participation of various police units as part of an ongoing investigation.

Since early morning, the Sant Cosme neighborhood, specifically the area of Riu Cardener street, has been the scene of a significant police operation. This deployment included the presence of Brimo, Arro, the canine unit, and drones, as confirmed by sources from the regional police force.
Although the specific reasons for the intervention have not been disclosed, the same sources clarified that it is not a response to a recent incident, but rather part of an ongoing police investigation. The number of agents mobilized was considerable.
This neighborhood has been the subject of major police operations in recent years. One of the most notable took place in 2023, when a marijuana plantation was dismantled that consumed an amount of electricity equivalent to that of 174 apartments. Municipal sources considered that action effective, as since then, a decrease in electricity consumption in the area has been observed, suggesting a reduction in illegal plantations.
