Detectives from the Most police’s Toxi team, a drug-crime unit, charged two men aged 64 and 39, both from Most, with the especially serious crime of illegal production and other handling of narcotic and psychotropic substances and poisons.[1] The team had worked for several weeks on a tip about illegal cannabis cultivation in a village in the Most district.[1] Most police spokeswoman Ludmila Světláková said the men grew cannabis in a building and adjoining buildings with indoor-growing equipment, at a time police could not establish but no later than early February 2021.[2] Officers searched the site and seized several plastic bags of dried plant material, cannabis plants in raw condition and the equipment used to grow them.[1] The men allegedly obtained at least 2,540 grams of dried cannabis containing the active substance and grew 479 plants at various stages, which produced at least 3,253 grams of plant material after drying and processing.[1] Most police put the total at 5,793 grams of marijuana, which they said would have been worth more than half a million korunas on the black market.[1]
An expert examination confirmed active cannabinoid substances in the plant material.[1] The growers told police they had grown the marijuana for their own medicinal use, not for sale.[1] The older man allegedly built the grow boxes and other equipment himself.[1] Police are prosecuting the pair while they remain at liberty.[1]
