A laboratory for the production of marijuana was discovered and dismantled by the carabinieri in the countryside of Mileto, where two people were arrested in the act while working between plants and dryers. The operation is part of the activity of contrasting the crimes on drugs coordinated by the Vibo Valentia prosecutor, led by the prosecutor Camillo Falvo.
The investigation started from a night rake in Spataro, an impervious and isolated area. The military found already dried plants, agricultural tools and an irrigation tube hidden in the vegetation. Not far away, the most important discovery: a cottage impregnated by the smell of cannabis, transformed into a real laboratory with dryers, a trimmer machine and 31 boxes full of inflorescences ready for packaging.
After an observation service, the carabinieri surprised two men intent on manipulating plants inside the structure. Blocked without resistance, they were arrested and translated into the prison of Vibo Valentia, pending validation by the investigating judge
The kidnapping is imposing: over 102 kilograms of raw substance and about 20 of already dried inflorescences, for a total greater than 120 kilograms of cannabis, capable of generating estimated illegal profits in tens of thousands of euros.
