After the two seizures in Guspini and Sestu , a third mega cultivation was discovered last Friday by the carabinieri of the Operational and Radiomobile Unit of the Mogoro Company and the investigative unit of the Operations Department of Oristano, in close synergy and collaboration with the Helicopter Squadron "Hunters of Sardinia" by Abbasanta.
A plantation of approximately 1,500 m2, composed of almost 800 plants with mature inflorescences, of various heights, between 30 and 220 cm, hidden in the dense surrounding vegetation and watered with a drip irrigation system connected to large water tanks .
From the analyzes carried out by the RIS of Cagliari, a THC level of 5% was found. A 21-year-old agricultural worker from Senis was arrested in flagrante delicto, and a 44-year-old farmer originally from Nuoro and a 21-year-old from Ales were reported for the production, cultivation and concurrent possession of narcotic substances.
The soldiers, after having found the plantation, took up positions and identified the three who began to cut the more mature inflorescences, loading them into the bed of a large pickup. They blocked the road to the vehicle that was leaving the plantation with the drug load, but the three managed to overcome the blockade and escape into the surrounding countryside. However, the military immediately tracked down the 21-year-old while the other two, who had managed to disappear, were only identified later.
In the countryside and in the adjacent companies, owned by the 44-year-old breeder, a real marijuana production chain was identified with areas intended for drying and large plastic bins with almost 150 kg of narcotic substance already collected.
