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.
