A 70-YEAR-OLD man is facing drugs charges after police seized cannabis worth more than $150,000 from a south Sydney home.

 

Detectives raided a property in Kareena Road, Miranda, at 3pm (AEST) yesterday acting on a tip-off, a New South Wales Police spokeswoman said today.

More than 75 cannabis plants measuring 3m and valued at $150,000 were allegedly found in the backyard.

 

A further 1.5kg of the drug was found drying or stored in drums inside the house, the spokeswoman said.

 

A 70-year-old man has been charged with cultivating and possessing a prohibited drug and other drug-related offences.

 

He was released on conditional bail and will face Sutherland Local Court on April 21.

The stench coming out of his backyard much had ben unbelieveable - 75 plants 3m tall in the middle of sydney - in the open.

 

Some people have not got a clue, at least those dudes in melbourne had'em in greenhouses.
