    British police seize elderly couple’s plant

    LONDON — British police say an elderly couple unwittingly grew a monstrous cannabis plant in their yard after buying what they thought was an innocuous green bush at a flea market.

    Police in Bedford, a commuter town 55 miles from central London, posted a picture of a luxuriant cannabis plant growing as tall as the fence in what appeared to be someone’s back yard.

    In a message posted to Twitter Friday the force said the plant had been “seized today.”


    “Elderly couple bought shrub at car boot sale, tended carefully — biggest cannabis plant we had seen!!” the message said.
