Cannabis field found in Sulawesi

UJUNGPANDANG, South Sulawesi: Pinrang police found a one-
hectare cannabis field in Kalempang, Massiwale, and have arrested
two men suspected of owning the field, South Sulawesi police
chief Brig. Gen. Ali Hanafiah said here yesterday.

He said the police forensic laboratory in Ujungpandang is
investigating whether the plant belongs to the banned kind of
cannabis.

Pinrang police chief Lt. Col. Suparno said police found the
cannabis field after they were tipped off by a local resident.

He said the one- to two-meter high cannabis plants are three
months old and are ready for harvest.

"They are grown inside a four-hectare cornfield," he added.
