Cops weed out five ganja growers

Uprooted: Some of the cannabis plants that were seized from the condominium units in Signal Hill, downtown Kota Kinabalu.

KOTA KINABALU: For the past four months, a group thought they had found the perfect place to grow an illegal crop – two plush condominium units at the exclusive Signal Hill area near downtown here.

They had special paraphernalia such as devices to ensure cannabis plants grew faster. But everything was unrooted on Jan 29 when a police narcotics team raided the condominium units and arrested five people including a French woman.
