Police have found a greenhouse for the cultivation of illegal drugs concealed in the back of an old bus in the Moscow region.
The LiAZ bus was parked in the yard of a summer house in the Orekhovo-Zuevsky district when police discovered its surprising contents, Interfax reported Wednesday.
Inside the bus there was a greenhouse equipped for growing marijuana and other drugs complete with air-conditioning and irrigation systems, the police department said.
Police detained a 23-year-old from the Sakhalin region in connection with the greenhouse.
They seized approximately 400 grams of cannabis.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
