Israeli police has found 1,600 marijuana plants in a field owned by Israeli settlers in the so-called ‘Moshav Hodaya’ region in the early hours of Sunday morning.

30 grams of heroine were also found.

The mother of the family who owned the field along with her eldest son were arrested.

An additional son, 16, has been detained, and the father and another suspect are still on the run.
