CALGARY – Police have charged two women after seizing over 700 marijuana plants from a home in Harvest Hills.
Officers found a three-stage grow op in the home when they searched it on February 25th, with over $900,000 worth of marijuana and growing equipment.
“Based on the presence of mould in the home, it would appear this grow-op has been in operation for some time,” said Sgt. Len Dalton. “People underestimate the damage grow-ops can do to a home. Besides mould, there are fire risks, electrical issues, and crime-related violence.”
The home has since been deemed unfit for human habitation.
Police have charged 50-year-old Tan Le and 49-year-old Thuy Nguyen with production of marijuana and possession for marijuana for the purpose of trafficking.
