Israel: Tunnel housing 400 cannabis plants uncovered by police in Negev

I’d imagine weed consumption is on a sharp incline in Israel at the moment

 

A 50-meter tunnel filled with cannabis was discovered on Sunday in the Negev by police officers, who found it accidentally while demolishing nearby buildings.

The massive greenhouse, partially covered with a fabric sheet, contained approximately 400 large marijuana plants, each standing about a meter tall. The underground greenhouse was equipped with an irrigation system.

According to police, the greenhouse and the plants are set to be destroyed.

An underground drug lab

Earlier in September, police seized drugs with an estimated value of over one million shekels in an underground drug lab, also in the area of the Negev desert. The underground drug lab was uncovered by police officers from the Arad station and Border Police officers.
