Arrested with cannabis

 

Police last week arrested a Kingscote male and charged him with producing and possessing cannabis for sale after they located 24 marijuana plants growing in various locations on the property.

 

About one kilogram of dried cannabis, in 18 plastic bags, was also found.

 

Furthermore, Police also reported the male for the alleged theft of an air-rifle, portable fire pump (valued at more than $3,000) and two shopping trolleys.

 

He has been bailed to appear before the Kingscote Magistrate's Court on Monday, May 24.

 

Also last week, cannabis expiation notices were issued to two Kingscote residents for each growing one cannabis plant in the rear yard of their local property.

If the guy wasnt a thief they might have let himoff with a warning, I dont think the police officers would be too impressed with the air rifle either.

Yeah, pinching someone’s fire pump is a real low act, it could cost them a lot more than the $3,000+ to replace it.

...i doubt the police would have just given him a caution for all that pot, even if he didn't steal the gun and trolleys. maybe a few plants and a few ounces, but not 24. That's not for personal use i dont think..

oops gun = pump, But yeah what a moron, very low act, very powerful karma commin back to bite his ass. You don't do that stuff, if you are growing or not...
