Discovery Announced by Hildesheim Prosecutor's Office and Police: Indoor Grow Operations Identified

The Police Inspectorate Hameln-Pyrmont/Holzminden recently announced the discovery of indoor cannabis cultivation sites in residential buildings in the towns of Heinsen and Lenne. The investigations into these sites are still ongoing.

In August 2025, police investigators from Holzminden, along with the Technical Deployment Unit of the Braunschweig Police, carried out searches at properties in Weserstraße, Heinsen, and Stadtoldendorfer Straße, Lenne, following tips about potential cannabis cultivation sites.

At both locations, extensive equipment for cannabis cultivation was discovered. Remnants of cannabis plantations were found in the buildings, indicating that the sites had been actively used for growing cannabis.

The unknown perpetrators had made contact with the building owners via the internet and established a personal relationship before setting up and harvesting the indoor cannabis plantations. Their exact identities remain unknown as the investigations are ongoing.

The Hildesheim Public Prosecutor's Office authorized the destruction of the seized items after trace evidence examination. The dismantling and disposal of the cannabis cultivation installations took place on Tuesday, September 2, 2025, and Wednesday, September 3, 2025.

For inquiries regarding the ongoing cannabis cultivation investigations, members of the press can contact the press office of the Hildesheim Public Prosecutor's Office. Contact details for the press office are as follows: Stefanie Ockenfeld, Police Inspectorate Hameln-Pyrmont/Holzminden, telephone number 05151/ 933-104, email [email protected].

The public is reminded that the cultivation, possession, and distribution of cannabis are illegal in Germany, and those found guilty of such activities may face severe penalties. The police encourage anyone with information about illegal drug activities to report it anonymously to the authorities.
