A raid in a remote, forested mountainous region of central Greece has led to the discovery of a large marijuana farm from which traffickers could have harvested €2 million worth of drugs, authorities said Friday.
A police statement said two people were arrested after being found looking after the farm, which took up six different levels of cleared land in the steep mountains of Fthiotida. The suspects were only identified as foreign nationals, while a third non-Greek suspect was being sought in connection with the farm.
A total 2,033 plants growing up to two meters high were found and uprooted, the statement said.
Officers also found and seized two tents where the farm laborers slept, a field kitchen, fertiliser, irrigation equipment and gardening tools.
