Two Ottawa men are facing charges after police seized more than 2,000 marijuana plants from a grow op at a vacant meat processing plant in Beckwith Township, Ont.
Ontario Provincial Police said their emergency response team executed a search warrant on the building on July 11, and seized the following:
- 2,012 marijuana plants in various stages of growth.
- 25 pounds of marijuana bud.
- 26 grams of cannabis resin (hash).
- Hydroponic growing equipment.
Police said the grow op was “elaborate” with much of the abandoned abbatoir’s space used for growing marijuana.
As a result of the investigation, police arrested Ottawa residents Adam Gunderson-Lord, 37, and John Armstrong, 36.
Gunderson-Lord has been charged with production of marijuana and possession of marijuana and Armstrong has been charged with production of marijuana.
Both men were held in custody for a bail hearing on July 13, and released on bail ahead of a court appearance on August 15.
