Grow op dismantled in Marysville
On Thursday, Sept 26, RCMP arrested a 36-year-old male and dismantled a marijuana grow operation in Marysville.
Police obtained a search warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act after receiving information about a possible marijuana grow operation. Once inside police found four separate grow rooms in the basement. There were over 100 plants in various stages of growth. A small amount of marijuana bud was also seized.
Police will be recommending charges of Production of a Controlled Substance.
Of concern to police was the fact two children regularly reside in the house.
Marijuana grow operations themselves might not seem bad to some, but police find that there can be violence associated to grows. And in a number of cases the electrical system is overloaded and not to building standards. This increases the risk of fire.
In addition to the marijuana police seized equipment used for growing the plants.
The subject was released and will appear in court later this fall.
