At around 00:00, the police received the order to go to the house due to concerns about the health of the resident. When the police could not make contact with the woman, they decided to enter the house. Inside, they discovered a cannabis cultivation with over 80 plants and 900 cuttings. The resident was found in good health and will be interrogated at a later time.
The cannabis cultivation has been cleared, and all plants will be destroyed. According to the network operator, there was an unsafe situation. Common dangers associated with a cannabis farm include short circuits, fire, and water damage. The police are investigating the case.
How to recognize a cannabis farm or cutting farm:
- A strong smell of cannabis;
- Extensive carpentry activities for the establishment of the plantation, without a clear renovation;
- The house seems uninhabited; someone occasionally comes by for an hour (to water the plants);
- Constant buzzing or humming noise from ventilation;
- Unknown vehicles unloading large boxes or garbage bags every few weeks.
