A man was arrested on Peng Chau Island after police discovered he was growing marijuana plants in pots inside his house as well as outdoors on nearby hills.

The police seized 15 pot plants, all about two feet tall, in addition to a small amount of meth and some drug paraphernalia.

The man, a hairdresser, is a Peng Chau native who moved to the city and came back to live on the island four years ago.

According to Apple Daily, local villagers would notice him and his wife go up the hillside and come back down looking high.

The arrested man claims he was growing the plants for his own use, and that he was not planning on selling them.

The police are investigating where the couple acquired the marijuana seeds.
