Couple Arrested After Police Raid Cannabis Grow Beside a Kindergarten in Cipolletti

Federal police say they found a large grow and 1.7 kg of buds after neighbours complained.

By Donte West · Oct 15, 2026

Federal Police antidrug officers raided a house in the Managua neighborhood of Cipolletti, Río Negro, in April 2026. The house stood next to a kindergarten, which the report highlights as a risk.

Police found a large, unauthorised cannabis grow, with no plant count given. They also seized 1,675 grams of processed buds. A couple was arrested and placed at the disposal of the courts under the national narcotics law, Law 23.737. The case opened after neighbours' complaints.

The couple is not named, and no later developments are reported.

Why it matters: The report says the case came from neighbours' complaints and does not report charges or a court outcome, so the couple's case is unresolved.
