Pot plants
A 65-year-old Devon woman rang a BBC gardening show to enquire about a mystery plant only to be told it was a cannabis plant. Some other places cannabis plants have been found:
— In 2012/13 British Transport Police found 500 plants growing across the rail network, including one at Hounslow station.
— Under lights in the boiler room of a Streatham primary school, which was alerted by an electricity company concerned at excessive power consumption.
