COPS MAKE LARGEST POT BUST IN CITY'S HISTORY
WOODSTOCK -- A police sting has led to a marijuana bust that officers
are calling the largest in this southwestern Ontario city's history.
Officers swooped down on a marijuana grow operation in a restaurant
building and found 1,671 marijuana plants and growing equipment.
The grow house was connected to a larger operation, possibly with
processing labs in Toronto for Ontario distribution and export to the
United States, Oxford Community Police Chief Ron Fraser said Friday.
"There is no doubt in our mind that this was an organized crime based
operation."
Charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, production of
a controlled substance and breach of a recognizance of bail are Phuc
Van Phu, 43, and Tuan The Ha, 42.
