Police officers in Thetford, England were surprised and bewildered to find a large quantity of cannabis flower packed into a very unusual bowl.

The buds were concealed in a toilet bowl on the grounds of what turned out to be a cannabis growth operation. No word on whether the pipes were connected or functional.

Officers discovered two cannabis grows in Boston End, Thetford and Ash Close, Brandon on Sunday.

The unearthing of the operation in Thetford led police to the Brandon location, where the second grow was discovered.

Two men said to be in their 30s and one in his 40s were flushed out and placed under arrest. The suspects were escorted to Bury St. Edmunds Police Investigation Centre. As of publication, they remain in custody.

Sgt. Marcus Wall of the Norfolk Police was part of the team that discovered the crappy stash spot and subsequent grows.

“Not one, but two, cannabis factories found overnight by me and the team, one in Norfolk and another in Suffolk,” Sgt Wall told the Thetford and Brandon Times.

“Three currently in custody. Details to follow after enquiries are conducted today, but an unorthodox hiding place located.”

Officials did not specify where or how growers were relieving themselves at the location with the indisposed toilet, or whether the bowl had been cleaned and sanitized prior to the placement of the cannabis inside.
