A marijuana grow operation, small but nonetheless legally significant, was discovered this weekend by Prince George RCMP.
According to RCMP Cpl. Jay Wessel, the operation was uncovered on Sunday when Mounties executed a search warrant for suspected theft of hydro on a Reid Lake Road property.
"While executing the warrant, members discovered a marijuana grow-operation with approximately 613 plants," said Wessel. "No one was inside the residence at the time."
The investigation is continuing. Theft of electricity is a common side-crime to the production of marijuana.
Anyone with information about this or any other grow-op is asked to contact Prince George RCMP at 250-561-3300 or anonymously contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS / www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca.
