Bulgarian police have discovered an absolutely unique greenhouse for growing cannabis near the northern town of Dolna Mitropoliya.

The greenhouse is equipped with special folio isolation, air conditioners, lamps, and gas heating devices for maintaining a permanent temperature. The greenhouse consists of three sizable sections; a fourth section is under construction.

According to the head of the police in the nearby city of Pleven, Plamen Pavlikyanov, no drug facility of this kind has ever been discovered in Bulgaria.

The police found 497 pots with grown cannabis plants, and 252 young plants ready for planting. Until the results of the special tests become available, the police are still unable to determine how much cannabis was found in the greenhouse because it is measured when it is dried.

The police have arrested two men from the city of Pleven as suspects for running the cannabis greenhouse, aged 39 and 38.

One of them rented the facility from a nearby ostrich farm, and it is technically located on its territory.

It is still unclear who funded the construction of the greenhouse and what market the cannabis has been destined for. The two arrested men are charged with growing high-risk narcotic plants in order to distribute them.
