Officers of Kriminalinspektion Mayen, the criminal investigation branch, searched the former glass factory in the Goldene Meile commercial estate in Bad Breisig on Wednesday, 28 October.[1] A spokesman for Polizeipräsidium Koblenz, the regional police headquarters, confirmed the search.[1] The operation followed a tip from the energy supplier.[1][2]

Inside the hall of the glass factory, investigators found a professional cannabis plantation.[1] The cultivation setup was described as a professionally equipped cannabis plantation in the former factory.[1] The find was made during a late-October raid by investigators at the Bad Breisig site.[1] The searched factory building stands in the Goldene Meile estate in the town of Bad Breisig.[1] The hall that was searched is part of the former glass factory building in Bad Breisig.[1]

The search only became known afterwards, after the October raid.[1] The extent of the plantation and the background to its operation were still unclear at the time.[1] The named raid location is the town of Bad Breisig in the Goldene Meile area.[1]

Police were not disclosing information about possible suspects.[2] Investigators said the Bad Breisig case was not connected to a separate 8 October raid that included Sinzig and concerned suspected weapons and drug dealers.[2]
