Nearly 200 kilos of high-THC marijuana were hidden inside an attic used as a greenhouse in the historic center of Orotelli.

This is what the Carabinieri of the Orotelli station, coordinated by the Ottana Company, discovered when, at dawn on Tuesday, they arrested a fifty-year-old on charges of illegal possession of narcotics for the purpose of dealing.

The operation concluded several days of investigations and remote observation by the military, which allowed them to identify the location used to store the large quantity of drugs. Inside the attic, the Carabinieri found marijuana divided into 11 bags and 8 boxes, weighing a total of nearly 200 kilograms. The entire quantity was seized. The investigation revealed the substance's THC content to be particularly significant . Some samples were analyzed thanks to the specialized collaboration of the Cagliari RIS, which revealed its high narcotic effect. After validation by the investigating judge of the Nuoro Court, the 50-year-old was placed under house arrest.

The Carabinieri's operations, which also involve the use of civilian personnel specialized in observation and operational camouflage, are aimed at preventing and repressing crime, locating wanted persons, and combating the cultivation and illegal possession of narcotics.
