Investigators have dug up a large cannabis plantation in Solingen, North Rhine-Westphalia. As the police and public prosecutor’s office in Wuppertal announced on Tuesday, a total of 14 rooms in a hall complex were apparently used for this. On Monday, investigators found around 1,500 cannabis plants that were almost ready to harvest in four rooms. They also confiscated about four and a half kilograms of cannabis ready for sale. The hall was therefore expensively connected to electricity and water.
During the search, the investigators found evidence of other premises in Rommerskirchen, which were then searched by the police in Neuss. There, two smaller plantations with a total of around 350 other cannabis plants were discovered in a basement and in a shed.
A 60-year-old was provisionally arrested in Solingen and was to be brought before a magistrate on Tuesday. According to their information, the investigators confiscated trace carriers, electronic devices, plantation equipment and a safe in both places.
