NSW Police seize $16m in cannabis

[boulder]

our people have been arrested and cannabis plants with a street value of $16 million seized in a search of a farm in central western NSW.

 

Police said officers discovered 8,000 cannabis plants during a search at a Tullamore property, west of Parkes, on Friday.

 

A 37-year-old Cabramatta man, a 35-year-old Bankstown man and a 46-year-old Bankstown man were arrested and charged with being knowingly concerned with the cultivation of a larger than commercial quantity of a prohibited drug.

 

They will appear in Dubbo Bail Court on Saturday, police said.

 

A 59-year-old Kemps Creek man was also arrested on Friday night near Parkes.

 

He was charged with cultivating a larger than commercial quantity of a prohibited plant.

 

Bail was refused and he was admitted to Parkes Hospital after complaining of illness.

 

He remained under police guard.

 

Local Volunteer Rescue Association and State Emergency Services members would assist police in removing the crop, police said.

 

The operation followed a recent cannabis seizure at Torrington, and brings the estimated street value of recent cannabis seizures across the state's west to more than $40 million, police said.

I have now worked out in my stoned brain that this is the crop I was watching on the news. Sog style with hundreds if not thousands of cuts, but crappy, half arsed clones. Burnt, sick looking, all the roots were brown... eugghh...

 

I certainly hope that was their first crop...

 

I can't be bothered repeating my last post in the other thread... you can read it there... Another Big Bust....

 

Can you tell I've been smoking honey oil?

Yeah, that's what I meant. It sounded initially like the other one was the one I'd seen, but this is the one I saw.... ;) Don't mind me. Toasted.
