GNR officers from Silves and Carvoeiro were called to a domestic violence incident at the sea-side holiday town on Sunday only to come across a mini-greenhouse constructed inside the property, full of healthy cannabis plants.
A full search of the property resulted in the discovery of the plants, cannabis seeds, dried and bagged cannabis ready to be sold, tools and fertliser to tend the crop and scales to weigh the resulting drug.
The indoors greenhouse was pretty sophisticated with lighting, irrigation and a good ventilation system.
In the police report on Monday, details of the domestic violence incident had been all but forgotten.
