Ontario marijuana bust called largest

 

A massive plantation of 40,000 marijuana plants has been discovered by police in a cornfield in eastern Ontario.

 

The plants were found Sept. 18 at a farm on B Line Road in Laurentian Valley Township near Pembroke, Ont., about 150 kilometres west of Ottawa, during the execution of a search warrant, said an Ontario Provincial Police news release that described the bust as "the largest in Canada's history."

 

It is one-third larger than the infamous 2003 operation at the former Molson brewery in Barrie, where police seized 30,000 plants.

 

Sgt. Kristine Rae said it took officers all weekend to seize the plants, which had a street value of approximately $40 million and were hidden between rows of corn.

 

"That is huge, trying to remove all that by hand," she said.

 

Some of the marijuana found last week was in the process of being harvested, and a double garage behind the farmhouse had been set up to dry the plants, the release said.

 

The plants were being watered via a system of plastic pipes running from a pond and an above-ground swimming pool.

 

There have been no arrests in the case, but Rae said the investigation is continuing.

 

"There's persons of interest but it will take some time to follow through," she added

 

Hahaha Every year we have some massive drug operation. In 2003 it was the old molson brewrey :bongon:

Wow , what an amazing story .. 40 000 plants is mind boggling :faint:

Sounds that it must have been quite an "elaborate" operation ... I like the above-ground Pool and Pond ideas :D Good thinking aye ... or maybe not as It turns out :freak: heheh

 

Is this a very isolated part of Canada? and even so , how could anyone think they could get away with something like that on such a large scale? :bongon:

If memory serves correct I've heard of larger plantations , but this day and age you'd think noone would risk such a grand venture (Good onem for tryin anyway tho I spose , life is all about taking stupid risks supposedly hahah , or maybe that just me :() :D

 

Anyhoo , Not much else to say really ... 'nuther big Hooray for the Corporate Overlords ... records and statistics for the media ... and achieving Sweet-Fuck-All when it comes down to Improving and Evolving Humanity :bow:

 

40 000 aye ... Geez I'd hate to be the dude inspecting for Males :wacko:

 

Cheerz all and Happy growing (and try and keep it under 20 000 plants will ya guyz ... wouldn't want to attract any unwanted attention now would we :peace: heheheh)

Stay Vigilant ... and Stay Safe
