In a small Netherlands town, vigilant neighbors called the police after spotting an unusual sight – a house with a completely snow-free roof during heavy snowfall. Their suspicions were confirmed when police arrived to discover a thriving cannabis cultivation operation inside. The heat used for growing the plants prevented snow from accumulating on the roof, leading to the discovery of the illegal activity.

Dutch police are cracking down on cannabis growers exposed by the melting snow, arresting individuals involved in these operations. While the Netherlands has a lenient stance on personal marijuana use, cultivation is limited to a maximum of five plants. The building owner now faces potential imprisonment for hosting the illicit cannabis crop in their home. The incident highlights how unexpected weather conditions can unintentionally unveil illegal activities, even in regions known for a relatively tolerant approach to certain substances.
