Footage shared by Spanish police on Wednesday showed the arrests of several individuals in a drug raid this summer.

Europol said on Wednesday that the arrests were made on July 13 when Spanish police, in collaboration with police from Germany and Albania, detained 107 individuals during 42 raids in Barcelona and three smaller cities in northeast Spain.

Police allege that the network illegally grew marijuana in Spain and smuggled it to other European countries for sale. More than 50 clandestine cannabis farms were discovered in the operation. Police estimate that the network used over 1.6 million euros in stolen electricity to run the farms.
