JAKARTA - British police have discovered the first marijuana garden in London's historical financial district. The plantation is inside a building that has been evacuated due to a national key to contain the spread of COVID-19.

The local authorities found 826 five-finger plants in a building near the Bank of England. Police said the cannabis plantation discovery came from residents' reports about the smell of marijuana around office buildings.

"This is the first cannabis garden in the City, no doubt established in response to fewer people leaving during the pandemic, who may have noticed unusual activity," police said in a statement.

The Governor of the Bank of England Andrew Bailey immediately commented that the area where he worked had cannabis gardens. The discoveries, Andrew said, clearly got people cracking new jokes about what central bank staff were doing while on the job.

"We will now be the subject of endless jokes about: what the Bank of England is doing," he said. "I'm sure there will be many other jokes. It's very quiet around the Bank of England, I suppose. "

Previously, the City of London was home to the world's largest commercial insurance, bank and fund manager market. However, most of the economic activity started to decrease after the COVID-19 pandemic began to hit London in March. As a result, most employees have adopted a new habit of working from home.
