Police say they have now brought the village under their control. About 800 officers were engaged in the five-day operation, with many coming under fire from heavily-armed locals. The small and prosperous village is believed to be Europes biggest illegal producer of marijuana. Lazarat, about 230km (140 miles) south of the capital Tirana, has been producing an estimated 900 tonnes of cannabis annually, worth 4.5bn euros ($6.1bn; £3.6bn) - equivalent to almost half of Albanias gross domestic product.
