[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] A man in his 30s who created a small greenhouse in a one-room apartment to grow and sell marijuana was arrested by the police.

On the 25th, the Narcotics Investigation Unit of the Northern Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency announced that they had arrested a man identified as A (31) on the previous day on charges of violating the Narcotics Control Act for growing marijuana and selling it through SNS, and are currently investigating.

Earlier, A had set up a greenhouse inside a one-room apartment of about 18㎡ (approximately 5 pyeong) in a multi-family house located in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province.

A is suspected of growing marijuana in the greenhouse for sale and distributing various other narcotics as well.

The police also apprehended 16 buyers in their 20s to 30s who purchased and used drugs from A.

While conducting intensive crackdowns on narcotics, the police obtained information that this man was a drug distributor and arrested him on the 22nd.

In the man's one-room apartment, narcotics worth about 2 billion KRW were found, including 4.35 kg of marijuana, 1,530 ml of liquid marijuana, and 1,426 ecstasy pills.

Investigations revealed that A, who had no particular job and lived with his family in another house, had separately prepared the one-room apartment for the purpose of growing marijuana and storing other drugs.

During the police investigation, A stated, "I started growing and selling marijuana about 2 to 3 months ago, and I also bought marijuana seeds and learned cultivation methods from other sellers."

A police official said, "We are also identifying and arresting others who bought and sold drugs from this man."
