A vast plantation of Indian hemp was found in the afternoon by the carabinieri of the Fabrizia station together with the Eliportato Cacciatori squadron and with the support of the 8th Eleo Core by Vibo Valentia.
In a clearing hidden in the woods, the military identified 150 plants in full vegetative development, shielded by vegetation and equipped with an automated irrigation system.
Immediate destruction of the harvest
At the disposal of the judicial authority, the plants have been sampled and subsequently destroyed by fire.
The operation, coordinated by the Public Prosecutor of Vibo Valentia led by Camillo Falvo, is part of a wider plan to contrast the illegal crops of drugs in mountain areas, often used for illegal activities. An action that confirms how the widespread control of the territory remains a fundamental tool to stem the spread of drugs in the Vibonese area.
