A large stash of cannabis was found in Copenhagen, Denmark, earlier this year on the roof of the city's prestigious Opera House.
The 75kg (165lbs) of marijuana was discovered in February by workmen who
were on the roof repairing water damage, and police kept it secret in
the hope that the owner might return to recover their illicit goods.
Authorities have made the discovery of the stash public after seven
months of investigations drew a blank, and are now treating the dozens of blocks of drugs as "lost property".
Theater manager Morten Hesseldahl said that several hundred people visit
the Opera House every day, and despite precautions, it would be easy
for determined smugglers to gain access. "We have reception and guards.
But it's possible, for example, to open a door from the inside, so you
can access the House," he said.
It is thought that the marijuana might have belonged to a drug dealer on
the nearby "Pusher Street", an open-air cannabis market in the
Christiana district which both residents and police are trying to close
down.
However, it appears the true owner may never be known, with Police
Commissioner Steffen Steffensen saying that the case is now officially
closed: "As it stands, we're no longer pursuing the case."
