Police arrested one foreign worker at the site and said two other people escaped on foot through rough terrain.[1][2] The plantation was in a remote forest area above Kammena Vourla in Phthiotis, central Greece.[1][2] Police described five terraces covering about 2,500 square metres, with 1,383 plants growing to 1.6 metres.[1][2]

The farm used a four-kilometre hose network and two reservoirs, each with a three-tonne capacity, according to the police statement.[1][2] eKathimerini also reported rudimentary greenhouses, a kitchen shed and camouflaged tents used as workers’ quarters.[2] Police estimated the plants would yield at least 691 kilograms of cannabis.[1][2]

The police valued the potential proceeds at €1.382 million to €2.073 million, while eKathimerini gave an estimated street value of €1.4 million to €2 million.[1][2] Both accounts reported one arrest and two people still being sought, but neither named them or gave a later court outcome.[1][2]
