Police discover cannabis plantation in Troisdorf, Germany

Police in the Rhein-Sieg district discovered a large cannabis plantation containing approximately 900 plants during a raid on a single-family home in Troisdorf-Spich. The operation, conducted on Tuesday, followed extensive undercover investigations into suspected narcotics trafficking.

Investigators found that three basement rooms had been specifically converted to house the plantation. The plants were in an early stage of growth. Authorities also identified evidence of electricity supply manipulation at the property, prompting the involvement of local utility providers. The Technical Relief Agency (THW) assisted in securing and transporting the plants and technical equipment.

In addition to the Troisdorf residence, police conducted searches at two apartments and a retail location in Sankt Augustin, as well as an apartment in Ruppichteroth. During the Sankt Augustin searches, narcotics detection dogs were utilized. Officers seized several mobile phones and other potential evidence. Three suspects, aged 42 to 49, were processed and subsequently released while the criminal investigation continues.
