QUIRKY WORLD ... Grower makes a hash of cannabis plants’ location

AUSTRIA: Vienna police said they have discovered a plantation with more than 700 marijuana plants at a warehouse close to a police dog centre.

Police said one of their dogs caught a whiff of the plants in the Austrian capital’s Floridsdorf district. Officers then saw a man taking a hose into the warehouse and searched the premises, finding 734 cannabis plants.

They also found 32 sacks stuffed with deep-frozen marijuana and a bag full of dried marijuana at the 27-year-old suspect’s apartment, they said in a statement. Police say the man is denying wrongdoing. The suspect comes from outside Vienna and might not have known that a police facility was nearby.
