$1.4M POT GROW-OP DISCOVERED IN WEST SPRINGS
A $1.4-million marijuana grow-operation has been uncovered in the
upscale southwest neighbourhood of West Springs. Police were
tipped to the possibility of a grow-op in a home on the 100 block of
West Cedar Rise S.W. and moved in yesterday with a search warrant.
Inside, the Southern Alberta Marijuana Investigative Team, Calgary
Police Service tactical unit and District 2 officers found a three-stage
pot growing operation consisting of 1,100 plants worth an estimated $1.4
million.
"It was a good-size one -- a fairly sophisticated grow
operation," said Insp. Roger Chaffin.
No one was in the home when the search warrant was executed and Chaffin
said no arrests have been made.
The sparsely furnished house appears to have been primarily used to grow
weed.
"It was a really high-end house that now has a condemned sticker on
it," Chaffin said.
Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or
police at 266-1234.
