THEFT MAKES POT GROWER ANGRY, DOPEY
It's straight out of Cheech and Chong.
A Saanich dope grower faces charges after indignantly complaining to police
that his marijuana grow operation had been stolen.
The cannabis cultivator went out for a few hours on Sunday night. When he
returned home about midnight, his indoor pot patch had been pilfered. He
phoned police.
But after the pot thinned, the plot thickened.
The appropriately named Const. Doug Weidman (pronounced Weedman) went to
the house in the 4000-block of Braefoot Road. He found the thief or thieves
had left some marijuana behind.
They arrested the 32-year-old resident for possession.
"It's surprising what some people will report to police," said Const. Peter
Lane. "It's kind of funny."
The 32-year-old has been released on a promise to appear in court in about
six weeks.
