Police raids at two homes and a storage container on the Gold Coast yesterday allegedly uncovered a large-scale hydroponic drug operation.

 

Officers conducted a search of a Hollywood Drive home at Gaven about 11am after receiving a tip off from the public and allegedly found the drug production set-up.

 

They seized a number of large cannabis plants as well as lighting, ventilation and watering equipment allegedly found inside.

 

A second search was conducted at a property in Withern Court at Caligaraba, where police allegedly uncovered a second hydroponics operation.

 

Officers also raided a storage container at Nerang and allegedly seized a quantity of dried cannabis.

 

A 29-year-old man will face Southport Magistrates Court today on one count each of trafficking, producing, supplying and possessing a dangerous drug, as well as wilful damage and possession of a thing used in a crime.

 

Police also issued a 58-year-old man with a Notice to Appear in court in January on production and possession of drugs charges.

 

Investigations are continuing.
