Organised crime networks probe

[Oz]

An Adelaide man was arrested and eight cannabis plants were seized during raids today by police investigating organised criminal networks.

 

More than 140 police were involved in the raids on 30 Adelaide residential and business premises, that started at 7.30am (CST) today.

 

Police said a 34-year-old Henley Beach South man was arrested for hindering police in the execution of a search warrant.

 

The man will appear in the Adelaide Magistrates Court next month.

 

During the raids, dubbed Operation Coyote, a hydroponic crop of eight cannabis plants – all more than a metre high – were found at suburban Everard Park, police said.

 

Investigations into the crop were continuing.

[greenacres]

140 coppers, 30 houses. 8 plants, 1 arrest, the numbers just keep getting smaller they are gotta be kiding what a waste of taxpayers money.

[wassily]

Yeah , but aren't 8 plants worth like ten billion dollars street value? ::

[Pure]

baaa ha ha ha yeah fully

 

 

Cops base it all on 25-30 dollars a gram no matter the quantity they get

 

 

so thats between 11- 13 grand per pound ::

[jackfrost]

140 police = 8 plants, what a joke!

 

I suppose the organised crime gang will never get busted when the drug squad is on the payroll.

glad to see my tax is being used wisely...

 

I reckon this glowing success of an operation would cost more than the 'averedge battlers' taxable income.

 

never mind health & education, I can be proud I contributed towards the eradication of some evil plants that might corrupt society.

[Typical stoner]

Must be serious organised crime if they were growing 8 plants must be worth as much as australias national debt

[risingsun]

what a waste of time, effort.

I dont know how anyone could think that is money well spent.

I really doubt that the people raided had anything to do with organised crime or if they did they are probably mnore organised than the police who cant seem to be able to get anything on them
