Police said Monday they have discovered a pocket drug farm in the basement of a house north of Athens, and arrested the owner.

A police statement said the 38-year-old Greek man allegedly set up the fully-equipped indoors marijuana operation in the Kapandriti area, near the village of Marathon.

Ten cannabis plants were found and destroyed, as well as more than a kilogram of marijuana and a pair of precision scales for weighing the drugs.

The raid followed a tip-off.
