Police who chased an alleged burglar through a Marlborough private property had an unplanned stop along the way when they found a man tending to his cannabis crop in his back yard.

 

 

Officers and a police dog were on the trail of a man who allegedly forced open the door to a Meehan St house and stole a small hydroponic cannabis plant on Monday afternoon.

 

As the police dog tracked the alleged offender through Elizabeth St, they came across a resident doing a spot of gardening in his cannabis patch, constable Michelle Stagg said.

 

A short time later police officers came across a teenager who police alleged was involved with the burglary and had also been smoking cannabis.

 

An 18-year-old Christchurch man was arrested for consuming cannabis and a 30-year-old man was charged with cultivating cannabis and possession of cannabis, Miss Stagg said.

But a couple of Rottweilers could have made the difference there..
