Two charged over cannabis crop

[Tom]

TWO men have been arrested for growing cannabis after Victorian police recovering stolen goods from the property next door noticed their crop.

 

Police had gone to a house on Old Cap Schanck Road in Rosebud, south of Melbourne yesterday to look for a stolen caravan and boat.

 

They found what they were looking for and arrested several people and then one of the officers noticed several plastic hot houses next door full of large cannabis plants.

 

When police went next door they found the hot houses contained mature cannabis plants more than two metres tall believed to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

 

A 54-year-old Rosebud man and a 54-year-old Mulgrave man were arrested and charged with cultivating and possessing cannabis.

 

Police said they expected to pull the crop out and destroy it today as soon as they had authorisation from a magistrate.

what a bummer , proves that luck plays a big part in the growing game i think

would have been pretty hard to hide the smell coming out of the greenhouse. You would have smelt it down the end of the street.

Thing is they may have gotten away with it but for the neighbour getting done for stolen goods.

Yeah, they just chose the wrong neighbourhood. Should give it a go in Vauclause, Double Bay or Mosmon. No one getting done for stolen goods there.
