Domestic disturbance in Zaragoza ends with arrests after cannabis discovery
Authorities responded to a reported domestic dispute at a residence on Gil Morlanes street in the San José district of Zaragoza. Neighbors alerted the emergency line around 09:00, describing shouting and physical altercations. Responding officers from the Aragon Police Headquarters, part of the Citizens’ Security Brigade, moved quickly to secure the scene.
On arrival, officers located a 48-year-old Hispanic man, identified as BLG, and his 22-year-old son, JLR, on the ground inside the apartment. Accounts of the incident indicate the son allegedly attacked his father, who endured several blows and reportedly threw a frying pan during the confrontation. The father sustained injuries and was transported to Nuestra Señora de Gracia state hospital in Zaragoza for treatment. Meanwhile, the elder BLG was detained by officers and placed in the National Police custody at Actur, alongside his son. The situation prompted charges connected to public health concerns, pending further review by authorities.
During the search of the residence, investigators discovered six cannabis plants in a setting described as untidy. Police are continuing to determine ownership and the scope of charges related to both individuals involved.

Separately, as part of the Kaugumi operation, the Civil Guards dismantled a criminal network involved in the infrastructure, production, and distribution of cannabis packaged in wrappers resembling candy. The products were marketed in a variety of venues, including sports nutrition shops, breeding outlets, tobacconists, and even gas stations. Nine individuals were arrested in connection with the operation, and authorities opened an investigation against 147 more people. The actions spanned multiple Spanish provinces, notably Aragon and Huesca.
The cannabis items were packaged in highly attractive wrappers, some designed to resemble common confections, creating the appearance of a legitimate food product line.
The operation involved nearly two metric tons of cannabis buds, more than 100 cannabis plants, 12 kilograms of cannabis concentrate, and over five kilograms of cannabis resin. Financial assets linked to these crimes included cash and a bank balance of more than 51,000 euros, along with various computer equipment held for court proceedings.
Follow-up inquiries by Civil Guard investigators in Almería revealed the presence of psychotropic cannabis-derived products marketed through several businesses within the state that appeared legitimate to consumers. Subsequent investigations identified a company in Granada with a structured framework for producing, processing, distributing, and selling these products, delivering a substantial economic return for the network.
