Police smoke out pot crops - ANDREW SEYMOUR, Ottawa Sun
Major pot busts in Eastern Ontario and west Quebec this week have netted harvest-ready dope with an estimated street value of $9
million. Provincial police scored the region's largest haul of the year
Monday, seizing more than 6,000 pot plants from a field near Alexandria.
[It is worth noting that the police do these raids at
the time the pot is "harvest ready", thus lending supportive evidence to the
fact that these raids are part of an organized conspiracy to resell the
drugs to organized crime syndicates for massive profits. Think that is
impossible? Then see "RCMP Passport Scandal "]
And yesterday, police in West Quebec announced they had seized more than 3,000
plants during a two-day drug sweep of the Outaouais.
The Eastern Ontario crop was discovered by OPP drug officers on private
property near Brodie Rd. in North Glengarry.
"It was scattered around an open field area," Ottawa OPP drug unit Sgt. Paul
Henry said yesterday. "It was well-maintained and well-hidden."
He said the elaborate operation included generators and water pumps. While no
arrests have been made, Henry said police have identified one "person of
interest."
He said the crop was the largest the Ottawa OPP drug unit has seized this year
and its size isn't typical of most grow operations that police encounter.
"This is certainly way above average," he said, adding police discovered the
grow op based on a tip.
3,000 PLANTS
News of the OPP bust came on the same day that police
in Chelsea announced they had seized more than 3,000 plants with an estimated
street value of about $3 million during a two-day sweep in the Outaouais.
With the help of a Canadian Forces helicopter, the MRC des Collines
police arrested two men and seized pot plants from seven locations between the
Pontiac and Val-des-Monts.
Police yesterday showed off six stacks of marijuana plants, some as tall as
five feet, in the parking lot of their La Peche headquarters.
Police said one of the grow operations was in Gatineau Park near Le Blanc Rd.
and Camp Gatineau. Police seized about 300 plants after receiving a tip from
an NCC conservation officer. Two weeks ago, police seized about 70 plants from
a location in the park near Chelsea Creek.
Const. Martin Fournel said drug officers identified 20 potential growing sites
but only found seven grow operations.
Police used the military helicopter to help pinpoint the locations
before tactical officers secured the area.
In some of the more remote sites, police used a basket hanging from the
helicopter to remove plants.
A 30-year-old La Peche man was arrested on Monday after trying to run from
police while a 46-year-old Gatineau man was arrested Tuesday. Both are now
facing charges.
