If you grow cannabis plants, hide them before world cycling and its helicopters come through

Vuelta a Espana: Helicopter TV footage leads to cannabis farm raid

A cannabis farm was raided after a TV helicopter following the Vuelta a Espana captured its location.

Police in Catalonia seized 40 plants in Igualada, near Barcelona, after they were alerted to stage eight footage that showed two rooftop plantations.

A spokesperson added that no arrests had been made and there was an ongoing investigation.

Few people can guarantee, to within a few minutes, when close-up helicopter footage of their roofs will be broadcast to the world. But those who live 100 feet from the route (near the day's finish) of one of the world's big three cycling road races are among them.
