Two UK men were reportedly busted this week for running a weed distribution operation out of an abandoned bingo hall.

Police in South Yorkshire seized more than 2,000 marijuana plants at Gala Bingo in Doncaster, Sky News reported Wednesday.

Police arrested the unidentified men — who are ages 29 and 38 — on suspicion of the production of class B drugs, according to the report.

Police used a chainsaw to get into the vacant building, which they raided at 8:30 a.m., a South Yorkshire police spokesman told Doncaster Free Press.

“A cannabis cultivation was discovered inside and two men have been arrested,” the spokesman said, according to the outlet.
