BELGRADE, Feb 6 (Reuters) – Police in North Macedonia seized 28 tons of cannabis, the biggest ever such catch in the country, after raiding two former industrial facilities, the country’s state TV channel MRT reported on Friday.

The report said the police action at facilities in the capital Skopje and the southern town of Strumica, which started on Thursday, targeted medicinal cannabis which was not intended to be used for its authorised purpose.
