Prince George, B.C.- A sophisticated grow op has been taken down south of Prince George.
On Wednesday of this week, members from the North District Integrated Marihuana Enforcement Task Force and Prince George RCMP Detachment executed a search warrant on a property on Koroa Road, which is south of Prince George, off 15 Mile road.
Officers seized approximately 1,970 plants at various stages of growth, along with property and equipment used for the cultivation of marihuana.
RCMP arrested one adult male who is facing charges for the Production of a Controlled Substance and Possession For the Purpose of Trafficking. He will be making his first court appearance on April 25, 2012.
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. For more information on the National Anti-Drug Strategy, please visit www.nationalantidrugstrategy.gc.ca

Just love it when criminals lose money!
Legalize it and tax it like the accepted worse drug in society, alcohol!
Make the arrested suspects chip in for gas to the RCMP lock up. In case the judge doesn’t punish them.
Why dont the cops go visit these guys when they’re home? If Mom and Dad aren’t home subsidizing they’re pension nobody’s ever home!!
Mucker, read it again.
Harb, include sheriff and correction costs, let ’em pay, let ’em pay, let ’em pay…………
But our community never gets any of the money they pay in fines, or the cash the police confiscate. Something is wrong with that.
Sure we do supertech. It all goes into General Revenue and the province hands some of that to this region as well. Also goes to help with policing and court, jail costs.
The police state loves the war on drugs… it gives them a perpetual excuse to increase their budgets and soon to fill up their private prisons where they will have a steady supply of slave labor. The crime world loves the war on drugs as well because it gives them a monopoly on a lucrative market. Kind of a win-win for drug lords and the police state.
Slave labour?
We can wish I suppose, LOL!
