Search Warrant Uncovers Grow Op
Friday, February 17, 2012 @ 3:37 PM
Prince George, B.C.- RCMP executed a search warrant this morning on a property on Lund Road and uncovered a marijuana grow op.
Police had been alerted last December to the possibility of a grow op at this location and their investigation lead to the execution of the warrant this morning.
Members of the Prince George RCMP General Duty Section with assistance of Downtown Enforcement unit, Police Dog Service and Forensic Identification Service, executed a search warrant on the residence on the 13000 block of Lund Road east of Prince George.
Located during the search were about 900 marijuana plants at different stages of growth.
No one was located in the residence at the time of the search. The investigation is ongoing.
This investigation is part of the Marihuana Grow Initiative, the RCMP’s national strategy to combat marihuana grow operations and the organized crime groups running them in our communities.

you would think that if the rcmp have been investigating this op since December they could have did a little more surveillance and actually waited till someone was there to arrest not that it really matters. Not much chance they would get a court date or be sentence to more than a please don’t do it again anyway.
We need more crime to take up the RCMP’s time but I think we have enough now. Just throw the rulebook away regarding pot because it’s useless and costs millions in RCMP jobs. Booze and Casinos are the real causes of crime; they increase poverty. Any monetary gain made by the government through these two vices is lost to policing and social services.
Legalize pot-close the casinos-reinstate the BC govt contorl of alcohol.+
Supertech, I agree with you about the damage that alcohol and casinos do to our society, but please don’t underestimate crack cocaine and methamphetamine as causes of crime and poverty and young girls selling their bodies.
I wish that marijuana could be legalized and regulated by the government like liquor, then more attention and resources could be focused on the other activities of the criminal gangs.

I am wondering if this is the same property that was busted for a grow operation 2 years ago…
