As reported by lematin.ch, an investigation into a cannabis plantation led Zurich cantonal police to a significant discovery on Thursday morning during multiple raids conducted in Dielsdorf district.
In a barn linked to an agricultural operation, officers uncovered a concealed cultivation facility containing more than 700 marijuana plants. More than seven kilos of marijuana already packaged and ready for consumption were seized, along with cultivation equipment and several thousand francs in cash.
The investigation then extended to the home of the main suspect, suspected of operating the facility. Police found there an arsenal comprising a submachine gun with magazines, ammunition and silencer, an air rifle, a pump-action shotgun, a slingshot equipped with an armrest, brass knuckles, a flick knife, and several throwing stars and throwing knives.
Two men and one woman, all Swiss nationals aged 41 to 43, were arrested. They will have to answer for possible violations of weapons and narcotics laws.
The money and weapons have been placed under sequestration in the course of the investigation. The plants, marijuana and cultivation equipment have been dismantled and handed over to a specialist company for destruction.
