In Dnipro, law enforcement officers exposed an illegal drug lab set up in a warehouse hangar. According to the police, a 42-year-old resident of the city rented the premises and invested about UAH 8 million in the illegal business. As a result, he grew about 220 bushes of drug-containing plants.

The criminal activity was documented by officers of the Drug Crime Department of the Main Department of the National Police in Dnipro region. The investigation revealed a hangar with heat and waterproofing, forced ventilation, artificial lighting and temperature control systems. A modern hydroponic system with drip irrigation was used for growing.
