Quesnel, B.C. - The Quesnel Drug section, general duty officers and Prince George Dog Services were back in a rural area of Quesnel to bust another marijuana grow operation today...

Last week, the officers raided two properties on Rawlings Road and arrested one man in connection with the grow ops found.

Sardinha says the operation appeared to be in its infancy, as the location was still under construction.

One man was taken into custody. Police believe he is linked to Asian organized crime out of the lower mainland. (click here for previous story)
