RCMP 'GREEN TEAM' CRACKS DOWN ON GROW OPS

The Nanaimo RCMP's Green Team has been a growing success lately.

Over a six-week period beginning in late January, the team
participated in nine search warrants - searching nine homes and
seizing marijuana 2,917 plants in various stages of growth.

Police also located 101 lights, $17,600 in Canadian currency and
three kilograms of dried marijuana.

During the searches, 34 weapons were located, including handguns and
long guns, a cross bow and stun taser.

Five adult males and four adult females, all residents of Nanaimo,
were arrested without incident and 13 charges of cultivation or
possession for the purpose of trafficking under the Controlled Drugs
and Substances Act were laid.

Nine criminal code charges were also laid and those include weapons
offences, possession of stolen property and theft of hydro.
