The municipal police of Montpellier (Hérault) discovered on Wednesday nearly 1,000 cannabis plants in the Garosud zone, reports
Midi Libre.
The patrol, which had been called for a badly parked car, which obstructed traffic, was alerted by residents that the old wastewater treatment plant, nearby, was squatted.
A very strong smell
While inspecting the building, the police noticed a very strong smell, before discovering, by lifting a hatch, a place equipped for the production of cannabis, continues the regional daily.
"A real laboratory", assures the union SGP Police 34 Unit, on Twitter, which pays tribute to the "flair" of the municipal police officers.
An investigation by the national police has been opened.
