ABOUT 300 cannabis plants growing on a scrubland plantation southeast of Adelaide will be destroyed after they were uncovered during a South Australian police bust today.

 

Detectives from the drug investigation branch and uniformed police swooped on the crop about 20km from the town of Meningie yesterday.

 

About 50 of the seized crop were seedlings while the rest were mature plants up to 180cm tall.

 

Police later dismantled an illegally-rigged tap from a water pipe was used to water the crop.

 

Two men who arrived at the crop site today have been arrested.

 

A third man was arrested in Meningie, about 150km southeast of Adelaide.

 

The men, a 27-year-old from Ferryden Park, a 51-year-old from Loxton and a 46-year-old from Remark, have been charged with manufacturing a prohibited substance and will appear in court at a later date.

when will people learn that stealing to grow marijuana results in the grower getting busted? sure it doesnt happen in all cases, but why commit a crime to commit another? seems retarded to me and a sure fire way of getting a worse punishment in the event of getting busted

why would you have 50 seedlings at this time of year unless they were planing some sort of indoor grow
