Police discover cannabis factory

An elderly couple have unwittingly grown the “biggest cannabis plant” police officers had seen after buying what they thought was a shrub from a car boot sale.

The couple, who live in Bedford, had planted the drug in their garden.

Police officers were astounded when they spotted the plant. They have collected it and a spokesperson said it would be disposed of.

The couple will face no action from the police.

The officers took to their @bedfordlpt Twitter account to express their surprise at the find, saying: “Seized today. Elderly couple bought shrub at car boot sale, tended carefully – biggest cannabis plant we had seen”

This story reminds me of some students selling their unwanted items at one of our Car Boots at FALMOUTH a few years ago amongst the items were two CANNABIS plants. As a joke I put them on Phylis’s stall as she sells all types of weedy looking plants! I dont know what happened to them but she is the happiest 86 year old I know!
