Two Israelis who apparently thought moving from Tel Aviv to settlements in the West Bank would provide a smokescreen for their cannabis-growing operation will have to think again. Police said on Monday a raid of their rented apartments turned up more than 20 marijuana plants. The two suspected growers were arrested.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said such incidents were rare in the settlements. "They tried to grow marijuana plants inside Judea and Samaria rather then Tel Aviv thinking that police would not be able to discover their activities," he said. (Reuters)
