CHILLIWACK WANTS TO SMOKE OUT POT GROWERS
VANCOUVER - A Chilliwack, B.C., gated community is looking to be the
first in Canada to "pot-proof" its homes. The scheme will require
buyers to forfeit their homes if they're ever used for a
marijuana-grow operation.
Property developer Bill Coughlin said people in the Fraser Valley have
all too often bought their dream home, only to have a nearby grow-op
turn it into a nightmare.
"The community is being held hostage to criminal activity," said
Coughlin Monday. "Chilliwack had more than 200 grow-ops in 2003."
