Cannabis Farm Dismantled, 189 Cannabis Plants and 1800 Grams of Cannabis Buds Destroyed
Several properties were inspected. These included properties that had previously been used for the production or storage of drugs and also properties that research indicated might be used illegally. In one house, 189 cannabis plants were found in the attic. These were almost ready for harvest. There was also a bag with 1800 grams of cannabis buds ready for sale, with a street value of about €20,000. All plants, cannabis buds, and equipment were seized. The plants were destroyed on site. The resident of the property has been arrested. It concerns a 39-year-old man from Capelle a/d IJssel.
Reports from Citizens are Important in the Fight Against Crime
During the inspection day, reports from citizens were also investigated. These include reports from citizens about houses with boarded-up windows or about the coming and going of expensive cars with foreign license plates. Reporting is important. It helps us keep neighborhoods safe. In cannabis farms, there is a risk of fire, for example. So be alert to what is happening in your neighborhood. Reports can be made via the police website or by calling 0900-8844. But also completely anonymously via Meld Misdaad Anoniem.
