Three men broke up a plantation for growing hemp in a rented house near Minsk

Employees of the drug control of the Factory Internal Affairs Department detained three men aged 22 to 27 years who organized a plantation for growing drug-containing plants in a rented house in the suburbs of the capital, a correspondent of the Minsk-Novosti agency reports with reference to the Telegram channel “Minsk Police”.

Among the defendants are residents of Minsk, Grodno and Gomel region. During the search, operatives seized 50 g of ready-to-use marijuana, six pots with soil and hemp plants, as well as seeds and equipment for cultivation.

According to the young people, they cultivated forbidden plants for personal consumption. One of the men, with programming skills, even developed a special application. With its help, attackers could remotely monitor and adjust the indicators of humidity, temperature and lighting on the plantation.

Criminal proceedings have been initiated against the detainees.
