Two thirty-year-olds had rented a house in Drancy (Seine-Saint-Denis) where nearly 500 cannabis plants had been planted. In administrative and dog language, we call this “frank and significant marking’ The Bobigny public prosecutor's office last week requested the referral to the criminal court of the two thirty- year-olds who cultivated the plants.

The two childhood friends with previously clean criminal records were arrested after two years of investigation. The neighbors of the house were not mistaken either, disturbed by the heady smell of cannabis.
