Some evictions end on an unexpectedly high note.

Bushwick police were notified that during an eviction on Hancock Street near Broadway, the marshal found "multiple marijuana plants" on the property at 5 p.m. on Friday, May 29, police said.

Later on Friday, Bushwick commanding officer Deputy Inspector Maximo Toleninto tweeted photos of the plants. The images showed more than a dozen pots with marijuana plants of varying sizes in each.

Tolentino said at least 20 plants were found.

Police said that nobody has been arrested for the incident, classified as a "found narcotics" crime. The investigation is ongoing.
