Marijuana growers arrested

BANDUNG, West Java: Police have arrested four people on charges of involvement in growing marijuana at their boarding house.

The police are still tracking down another tenant they believe actually grows the weed at the boarding house in Ciumbuleuit.

In a Tuesday night raid, police seized three, 25 centimeter tall marijuana plants, which were camouflaged behind other flora.

Local precinct chief First. Lt. Jayeng Suwandi told Antara that they haven't caught the main suspect he identified as FK, 21.

Police described the suspect as a student at a well-known state university on tour with his music band. He is not expected to return for some time.

He said the four tenants were arrested on charges of failing to report the marijuana to the police. (pan)
