A 44-year-old man from the Ilava district has been charged with the crime of unauthorised production and possession of narcotic and psychotropic substances.[1] The charge followed a search of a family house in one of the district’s villages, where officers seized several cannabis plants and equipment used to grow and process them, the regional police said.[1] According to the findings so far, he grew and kept the plants for his own use.[2] He was briefly deprived of his liberty during the procedural steps and then released; he is being prosecuted at liberty.[2]

Police said he grew the plants in a greenhouse on the grounds of the family house from about April until 14 October 2025 and dried them in the attic.[2] The processed cannabis was kept in the garage and in the attic of his house.[2] Officers also seized cannabis seeds, a grinder and other items, and called in the Police Corps’ forensic institute to examine the material.[1]

The Trenčín regional police announced the case on social media.[1] The force described it as another success in suppressing drug crime.[1]
