Overstocked with pot

WINNIPEG (CP) Winnipeg's vice cops have busted so many drug
operations this year that they're running out of room to store the evidence.

And busts of homegrown marijuana plants aren't slowing down. Two more
operations were dismantled Thursday, bringing the total number of pot
busts this year to 54, worth more than $6 million.

The drug vault is fillingup with driedout bags sealed in baggies and
envelopes. Police are looking at expanding the vault and moving the
officer responsible for the evidence outside the secure room.

One of the problems is delays in court time. Police have to keep drugs
from each bust until a case goes to trial.
