RCMP LOOKING FOR GROW-OPS

New Brunswick Crime Stoppers and the RCMP's Coordinated Marijuana
Enforcement Team are asking the public to report suspicious activity
relating to outdoor marijuana grow operations.

Marijuana growers plant marijuana on their own property, but often use
Crown land in an attempt to avoid prosecution. Marijuana plants are
usually grown in clumps in large areas, and are sometimes surrounded
by chicken wire to prevent damage from animals. Other vegetation is
often used to camouflage the marijuana plants, and a water supply is
usually nearby.

To get to and from the plants, growers will often use ATVs and walking
trails. Unsuspecting people have on occasion found a marijuana grow-op
by accident or by smelling the skunk-like odour that marijuana plants
produce.

Anyone with any information concerning an outdoor marijuana grow-op
can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). If your information
leads to an arrest, you qualify for a cash award of up to $2,000.
