Police Find 12 Kilograms of Candy-Packaged Cannabis in Petah Tikva

Police detectives in Petah Tikva uncovered an apartment allegedly used as an improvised weighing, packaging and distribution site for cannabis hidden in bags resembling candy or snacks. The search found hundreds of packages with about 12 kilograms of suspected cannabis, and the evidence was sent for police forensic testing. A Petah Tikva couple in their 20s was arrested, with police preparing remand proceedings as the investigation develops. The case is local, but it matters nationally because criminal networks packaging drugs like sweets endanger young Israelis and require steady policing that protects families and neighborhoods.
