Overview
- Acting on a public tip with a judge’s warrant, police entered a vacant three‑story house in Zorge and uncovered a large indoor cannabis grow.
- Officers seized 555 plants along with remnants of earlier harvests and removed the equipment with support from the Central Police Directorate in Braunschweig.
- Two 26-year-old men found inside were arrested and placed in pretrial detention after prosecutors flagged a flight risk.
- The building had been converted for cultivation with partition walls, dedicated water and power lines, a fresh-air system, and foil-sealed windows to block light and odor.
- Investigators are reviewing the Schleswig-Holstein-based owner’s possible involvement and checking for links to similar plantations found in the region in 2025.
