On Monday morning, a large cannabis grow operation was unintentionally discovered after a fire broke out at the restaurant Emin Oglu in Haarlem. In a home on Teding van Berkhoutstraat, 300 cannabis plants were discovered.

The blaze began at about 11:30. The smoke from the fire forced the evacuation of numerous nearby residences. When the residences above and adjacent to the restaurant were examined, they accidentally found the plantation.

Two persons who remained in the attic were hurt, according to a press representative for the fire department. Paramedics treated one of the patients right away, while the other needed to be brought to the hospital for more intensive treatment.
