GREEK police today said they stumbled across a cannabis plantation
during the Olympic torch relay through the Island of Crete at the weekend.

The plantation, covering 185 metres, was spotted at the base of a gully
in the north-east of the island by a police helicopter which was carrying
out aerial surveillance of the relay.

The torch arrived in Crete following a 78-day, 34-city tour of the
world's five continents.

It is now on a 7000-runner tour of Greece before arriving in Athens for
the August 13-29 Games.
