A raid on a “cannabis factory” in New Taipei City’s Wugu District (五股) led to the confiscation of 120 cannabis plants and the arrest of one man, the Criminal Investigation Bureau said on Friday.

A well-known tattoo artist Chen Chien-hsun (陳建勳), 47, would be charged with contravening the Narcotics Hazard Prevention Act (毒品危害防制條例), First Investigation Corps captain Ko Chih-jen (柯志仁) told a news conference.

“Chen had quite a large operation inside his place… We estimate the total market value was more than NT$1 million [US$32,415],” Ko said.

State-of-the-art equipment, including temperature, humidity, water-quality and lighting controls, as well as a grinding device, vacuum packaging and drying machines, was found at the site, Ko said.    [FULL  STORY]
