Two people were arrested and one reported for the cultivation of a marijuana plantation with about 3 thousand plants , discovered by the carabinieri in the Buddusò countryside. The military, supported by colleagues from the Abbasanta "Cacciatori di Sardegna" helicopter squadron and the Sassari Nipaaf Forestry Carabinieri, discovered the plantation in private land in the "Miale Casu" area, with 2388 hemp plants between 1 and 2 meters.
Another 730 were found in the shed near the ground already in the drying phase. The plantation was served by a drip irrigation system consisting of over 6 thousand meters of pipes fed by a 10 thousand liter water tank. A bag of seeds and documents proving the rent of the farm were also confiscated.
According to the verifications by the Carabinieri, the plants were not traced to reconstruct the origin and the inflorescences had Thc levels higher than the permitted limits.
The plants were seized and the land tenant, a 45-year-old from Ozieri who worked as a worker in the Forestry Authority, and a 52-year-old from Nule who guarded the plantation were arrested in the act of crime . The owner of the land has also been reported.
