[Tom]

Police have claimed victory in dismantling an alleged drug house in the northern suburbs.

 

Acting on a tip-off from members of the public, north west tactical investigation group officers raided a Two Rocks house at 10.30am yesterday and allegedly found two hydroponic cannabis-growing setups.

 

The officers allegedly seized 16 cannabis plants about one metre tall and paraphernalia including air filters, electrical timers, water heaters and digital scales.

 

A sling shot was also allegedly found, along with two smoking implements.

 

A 42-year-old man who lived at the Damepattie Drive house was charged with cultivating cannabis with intent to sell or supply, possessing cannabis with intent to sell or supply, possessing a smoking implement and possessing a prohibited weapon.

 

He was bailed to appear in Joondalup Magistrate’s Court on June 20.

Some "victory" he sounds more like a small time personal with some commercial grower, they've just made it very hard for someone to meet his bills and made no real progress in the "war on drugs".

i think it was the scales and sling shot that did him in, the police would have had to prove he was selling the shit to charge him with most of the stuff they did otherwise

not at all, its all a numbers game now, how many plants and how many grams, if it is growing it is based on plant numbers, if drying or stored its all about weight, while scales and shit dont help they dont make all that much difference nowadays
