Authorities in Greece have dismantled a substantial cannabis plantation hidden in a remote and rugged mountainous region near Eleftherochori, in the municipality of Lamia.

The operation, conducted by officers from the Anti-Narcotics Unit of Kalamata with support from colleagues across the Peloponnese and Phthiotis regions, uncovered more than 4,000 cannabis plants of varying sizes. The plantation was situated in an isolated spot, deliberately chosen to evade detection.

During the raid, three Albanian nationals were apprehended. Police believe the suspects were responsible for cultivating the illegal crop. They have been taken to the police station in Kamena Vourla.

The extensive operation on Mount Kallidromo began in the early morning and continued until late afternoon, with officers uprooting the plants for destruction. The General Regional Police Directorate of the Peloponnese is expected to issue an official announcement detailing this significant case.
