The National Police have dismantled a criminal organization dedicated to hashish trafficking in Badalona and Sabadell, using a taxi to distribute drugs to several European countries.

The investigation, which began last year in Sant Adrià de Besòs, has resulted in the arrest of four individuals. Officers intercepted a taxi in Sabadell carrying nearly 30 kilos of hashish, using the vehicle as a method to remain unnoticed during transport.
During searches conducted at various properties, including a storage unit and an industrial warehouse, over 300 kilos of hashish, a revolver with ammunition, 138,000 euros in cash, and eight high-end vehicles were seized. The organization had a hierarchical structure and security measures in place to evade police action.
