The scene took place in Auray (Morbihan) on Wednesday August 16. Followed for several weeks by investigators from the gendarmerie brigade of the town, two men were arrested at their home on suspicion of growing cannabis. The gendarmes’ investigations were confirmed by the search carried out in the accommodation where several cannabis plants were discovered in two growing rooms.
The gendarmerie echoed this seizure on his facebook page even if the catch remains modest: 12 feet, 450 grams of grass, a rifle and 440 ammunition and “all the equipment necessary for the cultivation of narcotics” were confiscated at the end of the search. Placed in police custody, the two men will be the subject of a summons to justice in March.
At the end of July, the gendarmes of Morbihan had already seized 400 feet of marijuana which grew under greenhouses in the small town of La Chapelle-Neuve. The farmer had been sentenced to two years in prison, including six months suspended.
