Russian go after Illegal Pot sting then Bees attack Russians with their own ‘Sting'

-

Police in Russia ran up against a problem when they tried to clear an illegal marijuana plantation, close to the city of Kostroma. As they were attempting to remove all the plants, a swarm of angry bees attacked them.

It looked like the owner had been clever, and had strategically placed bee hives within the plot of marijuana as a security measure. However, according to him, the plants were wild, and he merely cared for the bee hives.

When clearing the plants in the small plot, near Kostroma around 350km northwest of Moscow, the officers were attacked and stung repeatedly. Luckily none suffered any allergic reactions and no one was in a serious way from the incident.

According to a law enforcement officer, Valery Vekhov:

“As part of an operation, the police arrived at the scene to see whether rumors that a large amount of cannabis was growing were true.” Marijuana cultivation is illegal in Russia and should the owner be found to have willingly grown the plants, he could face up to eight years behind bars. That would definitely sting.
