On Friday of this week, about 25 policemen entered the bingo hall with weapons and dogs to check that someone had installed 2 thousand marijuana plants where previously there were inveterate players.

The plants were tidy in rows under heat lamps in what it has been described as a mega hydroponic greenhouse, reported the site The sun.

It is believed that the activity of selling marijuana would have produced 2.8 million pounds a yearabout $ 3.5 million.

It all started when the police noticed the smell of marijuana building, which was closed since January this year. A test with a thermal camera proved that there was some kind of greenhouse inside.

What they found was 2,000,000 plants could have been harvested in about three weeks. It was also found that the bingo kitchen had been recently used.

Police captain Colin Gray said the findings were "significant" because they undermined "organized crime groups" and "the distribution of cannabis locally and further".
