Baden-Württemberg: fire brigade finds marijuana plants in roof fire

Süßen (dpa / lsw) - Task forces have discovered 15 marijuana plants in a fire in an apartment building. The roof truss and a photovoltaic system in the building in Suessen (Göppingen district) had caught fire, the police said on Thursday. So far, the fire brigade assumes that a technical defect in the photovoltaic system was the trigger of the fire on Wednesday.

Nobody was injured. When extinguishing the fire, the fire department found the 15 marijuana plants and 150 grams of the drug in an attic apartment. The police took everything and are now investigating both residents. The damage to the building is estimated at 250,000 euros.
