POLICE have seized nearly 1500 marijuana plants hidden in factories in Melbourne's west following raids on four properties yesterday.

 

Sunshine detectives raided the first factory in Sunshine North about 1.45pm on Monday, uncovering 129 plants.

 

That discovery led to further raids on two more Sunshine North factories and a house at Kings Park - uncovering another 1282 plants and $55,000 cash.

 

Police said a 50-year-old Sunshine woman, 47-year-old St Albans woman, and 57-year-old Sydney man have been charged with various offences, including trafficking cannabis, cultivating narcotic plants, possession of cannabis, as well as theft, and possessing the proceeds of crime.

 

The three accused are due to appear at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court today.

 

Sunshine detective Sen-Sgt Fred Grove promised a “thorough investigation” into the allegations.

Be interesting to discover how they got caught.

 

How on earth would you trim all those plants?

Stealing electricity.

Stealing electricity.

 

Is that greed, stupidity or a combination of both?

 

Just pay the damn bill. If you had your shit together you could have hundreds of clones ready to go and rent or buy the commercial/industrial space and go for it once it's ready.

 

Something portable that you could move around easily and regularly would be the go.

 

40' shipping containers come to mind.
