Cannabis farm discovered in Frigiliana

A CANNABIS farm has been found on a country property in Frigiliana and a 37-year-old Spanish man arrested for alleged drug-trafficking.

Investigations began after officers at the Velez-Malaga National Police station received tip-offs that a man who lived in the countryside near Frigiliana could be growing and selling drugs in the Axarquia area.

After locating the property in question, officers discovered a greenhouse had been built and drugs were being grown inside.

12 kilos of cannabis (60 plants) were seized from the property. In addition, six kilos of the drug were also found appearing ready for distibution.
