THIRD GROW OP BUSTED IN LESS THAN A MONTH

For the third time in less than two weeks, RCMP have busted a
large-scale marijuana grow operation in Red Deer.

Police seized several hundred marijuana plants and related equipment
from the partially dismantled operation in a residence on the city's
west side.

While no arrests were made during the raid, charges are anticipated
against a number of individuals, said Red Deer RCMP Cpl. Kathe Deheer.

Police seized more than 1,100 marijuana plants worth more than $1.5
million from two residences earlier this month. Four people have been
charged in those cases.

"We're making a big dent in the drug culture in the city," Deheer said
of the three recent raids.
