#UK men busted for running weed operation in bingo hall

Two UK men were reportedly busted this week for running a weed distribution operation out of an abandoned bingo hall.

Police in South Yorkshire seized more than 2,000 marijuana plants at Gala Bingo in Doncaster, Sky News reported Wednesday.

Police arrested the unidentified men— who are ages 29 and 38—on suspicion of the production of class B drugs, according to the report.

Police used a chainsaw to get into the vacant building, where they raided the building at 8:30a.m., a South Yorkshire Police spokesman told Doncaster Free Press .

“A cannabis cultivation was discovered inside and two men have been arrested,” the spokesman said, according to the outlet.

“Police will remain on scene throughout the day to undertake a full search of the premises.”

Doncaster News reported that the weed bust was one of a series of recent pot raids by local police, who have found “thousands of plants,” and made several arrests in the city.
