ATHENS — Police in northern Greece have arrested a 35-year-old man who allegedly grew cannabis in the middle of the country's busiest motorway, a local police officer said on Monday.
"The suspect had planted 42 plants up to 1.8 metres (5.9 feet) high, probably in April or May," Pieria prefecture police director Thanassis Fotopoulos told state television NET.
The illegal patch on the median strip of the Athens-Thessaloniki motorway had ample access to water after tapping into piping installed for the strip's original greenery, Fotopoulos said.
The arrest on Thursday was made following an anonymous tip, the police said.
