Investigators said the two tenants were last seen on Nov. 24 and were unreachable for confirmation if they would continue the rent, which prompted the apartment owner to open the unit that led to the discovery of the illegal hemp.

During the background check, the investigators learned that the two tenants were arrested in a buy-bust operation on Nov. 25 while selling “weed” in Cavite City.
