Police have discovered the largest marijuana plantation on record in the southern province of Malopolska, seizing 800 plants worth 4 million zloty (1 million euro).
Police from the Central Investigation Bureau in Nowy Sacz as well as Poland’s Border Guard undertook the raid, with two men being taken into custody in connection with the illegal plantation and alleged drug dealing.
A total of 800 plants at varying stages of growth were hauled in by the authorities, amassing to around 79 kg. The estimated worth of the drugs is 4 million zloty.
The bust is part of ongoing efforts to close down a drugs ring in the country, with eight arrests, including the leader of the group, taking place in May. (jb)
