Police seized the plants along with equipment used in the production of marihuana. Police also seized a 2001 Chevrolet SUV and a loaded .12 gauge shot gun.
North District Media relations Officer Lesley SMith says it is not uncommon to find loaded weapons at a grow op she says the operators of grow ops arm themselves as protection from gang activity or possible "grow rips".
A 30 year old male, was arrested and is facing charges for Production of a Controlled Substance, Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking and firearms related charges
under the Criminal Code. He will be making his first court appearance on December 5, 2012.

Hmmm I wondered what happened to all the milk crates.
Marihuana with an “H”? Probably more of a penalty from Dairyland for having “stolen” milk crates in his possession. It says right on the milk crates. Where’s the Dairyland police to press charges?
I got curious…….
Put 900 patricia blvd into Google and what business’s pop up?
Doctor Love & Hemp Cityâ
Hemp Cityâ
That would be too funny if Hemp City was the location, but put their address into google specifically and they are on the other side of 10th. So that doesn’t really sound right.

The 900 block of patricia is actually the Library and the Civic Centre……. something tells me the address in the press release doesn’t sound right. Either that or there’s more than books being charged out at the Library. Takes HIGHER learning to a whole new level……
First court appearance December 5? Wow!! The judge sure must have one helluva huge in-basket! If one would have to wait that long to book a tee time to play golf, golf would be eradicated in short order. December 5? Again, WOW! If you can’t do the time don’t do the crime should be changed to, “If you do the crime, it will take time to see a judge and then maybe do the time. Which will be ONE day in jail and eighteen months probation. Crime doesn’t pay? What an outright LIE! Make a memo.
900 block of Patricia is actually on the east side of Queensway. Other than Sacred Heart the only other building is some sort of Day Care. Had to use the upstairs for something I guess!
Harb, the hour he’s spent in custody getting released counts as one day so he’s already done that. Probably a conditional discharge and no guns til hunting season….
mwk: the 900 block of Patricia is EAST of Queensway.
Don’t know how long it takes marijuana to grow to maturity but December probably gives him time to grow another crop somewhere.
It’s probably lower Patricia Blvd. where Big John’s R.V. used to be.
