Four arrests and 750 kilos of seized marijuana. This is the balance sheet of an operation conducted by the Carabinieri of the Quartu Company, of the dependent stations and in collaboration with colleagues from Monastir and Nipaaf of Sassari.

The military had been keeping an eye on the countryside of a large portion of the territory between Sestu and Monastir for some time, as they believed that greenhouses for growing cannabis indica might be hidden there.

Therefore, further investigations on some suspects started, observation services were intensified in particular time slots. In a large agricultural plot of Monastir, only partially used for the cultivation of cannabis sativa (therefore allowed), greenhouses were found with hundreds of cannabis indica plants, about two meters high. Furthermore, an adjacent room had been transformed into a laboratory for drying and storing several hundred kilos of substance that had already been partially wrapped.

728 kg of marijuana, 610 drying plants, 24 kg of kief pollen, as well as bins, presses and heat-sealed bags ended up under seizure.

As for the cannabis sativa plantation, the plants had a thc level much higher than the permitted one, a circumstance that led to the seizure of about 4 thousand plants.

The four arrested, all from Sestu, were taken to the Uta prison.

With this operation, the military has cut off an important drug supply channel.
