Endless Paradigm

While using Google Earth, Swiss authorities found large Pot fields in the northeastern canton of Thurgau. The marijuana plantation’s Pot fields were about 7500 square metes, hidden in a field of corn. 1.2 Tons, or $2.5Million USD, of Pot was seized. Over 7.7 tons of marijuana was sold by the 16 arrested at the plantation, sense 2004.

Come on, what are the chances that someone looking at Google Earth would have noticed the Pot fields. I mean what exactly were they looking at when they “discovered” the Pot fields?

Police said the find was part of a bigger investigation that led to the arrest of 16 people and seizure of 1.2 tons (1.1 metric tons) of marijuana as well as cash and valuables worth 900,000 Swiss francs ($780,000).

Officers discovered the hemp field in the northeastern canton (state) of Thurgau last year while investigating an alleged drug ring, said the head of Zurich police's specialist narcotics unit Norbert Klossner.

The plantation, measuring almost two acres (7,500 square meters), was hidden inside a field of corn. But officers using Google Earth to locate the address of two farmers suspected of involvement in the drug operation quickly spotted the illegal crop.

"It was an interesting chance discovery," said Klossner.

Prosecutor Gabi Alkalay told reporters in Zurich that she plans to complete her criminal investigation in February, after which she will formally charge the 16 suspects and ask for prison sentences for all of them.

The gang is alleged to have sold up to 7 tons (7.7 US tons) of hashish and marijuana between 2004 and 2008, with an annual turnover of 3-10 million francs a year, officials said.

I think first they found the field then used google earth.
