  "summary": "Three men have been arrested in San Miguel de Salinas after police seized 262 cannabis plants during Operation Bastión 26. The individuals, aged 34, 53, and 57, are under investigation for drug trafficking, membership of a criminal group, and electricity theft. The investigation began after discarded plant material was found in the municipality, leading officers to a property displaying signs of large-scale cannabis cultivation. The house, converted almost entirely for cannabis production, housed 262 plants in the final stage of flowering, along with extensive growing equipment. Three suspects were initially arrested, with a third located later in Guardamar del Segura. All three have since appeared before a court and been released on precautionary measures while the investigation continues.",
