Raid uncovers home cannabis factory

[Tom]

Cannabis plants, which police say are worth about $1.5 million, were seized during a raid on a house in Sydney's west this morning, police say.

 

Acting on a tip-off, officers executed a search warrant on a home in Wilco Avenue, Cabramatta West, about 7am, police said.

 

They allegedly found an indoor cultivation system and cannabis plants at various stages of growth.

 

Police said the no one was home at the time of the raid and inquiries were continuing.

 

A number of successful raids had been carried out on hydroponic cannabis crops in Sydney's south-west this year, police said.

1.5 mill seems a bit much to grow in 1 house

if the tip off gives enough information thats all it takes for a warrant

they looked like very nice plants nevertheless! huge colas

 

would definitely have been knocking the power in that setup.

 

but theres no way theres 1.5 million in any house. at @ 2500 a lb thats 600lbs.

hmmm... yeah 300kg of dope in one house is quite an overstatement... doesnt really suprise me that the fucking stupid piggies cant count!

Maybe the police statement was supposed to say 1.5 million a year but the media ran with the big number to shock as these storeies are getting commonplace in the news and they dont get the supprise they used to.
