Huge drug bust

[postman]

POLICE yesterday uncovered one of the most extensive hydroponic drug productions in the state's history.

STAR group officers stormed a warehouse on Benjamin St, Newton, about 5.30am and seized more than $50,000 worth of hydroponic equipment and 70 seedlings.

 

Superintendent Paul Dickson said the find was significant, as the elaborate set-up had the potential to produce 21,000 street hits of cannabis every two to three months.

 

"It must be one of the most extensive hydroponic crop set-ups that's ever been located by SA police," Supt Dickson said.

 

"While the plants themselves weren't that big, it had the potential."

 

A man, 39, was arrested at the warehouse. Another man, 41, was arrested about 8am at Parafield Gardens.

 

Both were charged with cultivating cannabis, while the Parafield Gardens man was also charged with firearms offences after he was allegedly found in possession of two revolvers

i would imagine a hit was 1 gram. so 21,000 hits is 50lbs. the cops are either grossly exageratting as usual, or they had a 30k to 50k watt setup.

[DownUnderDoper]

$50k worth of equipment???

even for 70 plants that seems excessive.

[Ruen]

as if a cop that said in the press release "street hit" would be able to estimate the value of hydroponic equipment
