Jakarta. Police in Aceh have started destroying about eight hectares of marijuana plants found growing in Seulimeum subdistrict.

Aceh’s top cop, Adj. Sen. Comr. Heru Novianto, said police found the field last week, but efforts to locate the growers have so far been unsuccessful.

“The police are still trying to identify who owns the field and who works there,” Heru said, as quoted by state-run news agency Antara. “We believe that there are other marijuana fields in this area.”

Officers started destroying the plants on Thursday. However, given the size of the field and difficult access, it could take until Tuesday next week before all the plants are removed.

Heru said three people were spotted in the area on Thursday night, but fled.
