Ontario Provincial Police estimate some 15,000 plants were seized last Wednesday from an abandoned warehouse on Don Murie Street.

Investigators say tips from the public about a “strong cannabis odour” emanating from the production facility spurred on a probe.

It’s estimated the plants confiscated by OPP and Niagara Regional Police had a street value of almost $8 million.

All six connected with the seizure are facing a charge of cultivating cannabis without authorization and are expected to appear in a St. Catharines court on May 30.
