Spanish police were given an unexpected helping hand when televised overhead shots at the Vuelta a Espana revealed two cannabis farms were being grown on the roof of a building parallel to the course just outside of Barcelona. The police department later confirmed that they’ve seized 40 cannabis plants from that roof. However, no arrests have been made yet, as the local law enforcement is still searching for those responsible

Growing cannabis for personal consumption is not illegal in Spain but the volume of the plants leads investigators to believe that the plants were being grown for the express purpose of illegal distribution.
