Marijuana plantation found near Vienna police dog center

VIENNA (AP) — Vienna police say they have discovered a plantation with more than 700 marijuana plants at a warehouse close to a police dog center.

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

They said in a statement Saturday 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.

Police say the man is denying wrongdoing. Spokesman Roman Hahslinger told the Austria Press Agency the suspect comes from outside Vienna and might not have known that a police facility was nearby.

Yes, your honour, I set it up to help train the Police sniffer dogs.................... True!!

Must have been a Muslim, they seem to be blamed for everything else.(sarc.)

Perhaps he was growing it to supply to those controlling EU policy.

Obviously a Rastafarian and just growing a personal supply for religious purposes.

Well that is one way to confuse the Police and there Dogs during Training. Instead of scratching the bag that has the marijuana in it they all run to the fence every time.

Gosh! Growing Pot there has got to be as bad as kidnapping someone and writing the Ransom Note on the back of your electric bill. Go Figure?

I'm surprised there's a empty warehouse big enough for 700 plants in Vienna. How did any nosy neighbors not notice this, since everyone there is cheek to jowl next to one another and putting curtains in your window makes you "suspicious", 555?
