[Oz]

German police have arrested a green-fingered pensioner harvesting cannabis plants in her Hamburg home after someone tipped them off to a strong smell, authorities say

 

In a dawn raid of the 68-year-old's flat, police found marijuana plants in her bathroom, bedroom and living room.

 

"Police discovered a plantation of approximately 170 cannabis plants as well as a special lighting and ventilation system," said a police spokesman. "It was very professional."

 

Five kg (11 lb) of cannabis, freshly harvested and already packaged, were also discovered in the woman's home, which she shares with her 39-year-old son.

 

"The woman was tending to the plants and watering them but said that she was doing it for her son," the spokesman said.

 

Police confiscated the plants and are investigating.
