NO CHARGES OVER SMALL POT CROP

A grow op was dismantled in a quiet Brookswood neighbourhood on
Friday.

A Brookswood marijuana grow op was dismantled by the Langley RCMP on
Friday, but the resident won't face any charges.

Police were originally called out to a home in a cul-de-sac, on 38th
Avenue east of 200th Street, to check on the well-being of the
resident, said Cpl. Holly Marks.

The man apparently hadn't been heard from in a while.

When officers arrived and knocked on the door, they found no one home,
but they did detect the odour of marijuana.

They returned with a search warrant and a locksmith, and found 70
plants inside a shed behind the house.

"It's a fairly small grow," Marks said.

Police did later find the occupant, she said.

"His well-being was fine," she said.

The incident is being classified as a "no case seizure" in which no
charges are expected.

Marks couldn't say exactly why a decision not to pursue charges was
made.
