Overview
- Police acting on a public tip used a court warrant to search a vacant three‑storey house in Zorge in the Göttingen district.
- Investigators found 555 cannabis plants and remnants of earlier harvests, which point to sustained cultivation.
- Two men, both 26, were arrested at the scene, and a judge ordered pretrial detention for flight risk at the prosecutor's request.
- Rooms had been rebuilt with partition walls, dedicated water and power lines, fresh‑air systems, and foil‑sealed windows and doors to contain light and odor.
- Officers seized and removed the plants and equipment with support from Braunschweig police units, and they are now investigating the Schleswig‑Holstein‑based owner and the intended distribution routes, including possible ties to plantations found in 2025.
