<Anchor> Two people who were growing enough marijuana for 4,600 people to smoke at the same time on a mountain in Sejong City and Gongju City, South Chungcheong Province, were caught. They were caught when a hiker who was digging for herbs accidentally discovered the marijuana. This is TJB reporter Park Beom-sik. <Reporter> A mountain in Jeondong-myeon, Sejong City. An unidentified plant is densely planted down the mountainside. It is marijuana being grown illegally. The marijuana seized at the scene included 67 plants and 2.3 kg of dried marijuana, worth 340 million won on the street, enough for 4,600 people to smoke at the same time. The marijuana cultivation site was discovered less than 50 meters from a forest road. A man in his 60s and a woman in her 50s told the police that after running a restaurant in Cheonan and closing down, they had been living without a specific job and accidentally discovered the wild marijuana and began growing it. These individuals have been growing marijuana in the sparsely populated mountains since April, and have been managing the marijuana fields by fertilizing them once every two weeks. They are suspected of drying and storing the harvested marijuana in shoe cabinets and air conditioner outdoor units in an apartment in Cheonan, where they live, or of smoking it themselves. They were also caught making transactions with a specific seller. Their crime was discovered when a hiker who was digging for herbs accidentally discovered young marijuana. The police believe they are involved with a drug organization responsible for distribution and sales, and have arrested the two individuals. They are recovering the illegal proceeds while continuing to conduct additional investigations.
