POLICE FIND BOOBY TRAPS AT GROW OP

Shelburne police recently located a marihuana grow operation that was
booby-trapped with spikes mounted on wooden platforms and are warning
the public to be cautious.

The RCMP Shelburne County Street Crime Enforcement Unit and members of
the Shelburne and Barrington RCMP detachments recently located a grow
operation that contained 15 marihuana plants within a wooded area in
western Shelburne County.

"Booby traps are not uncommon in outdoor marihuana grow operations,"
said Cpl. Nancy Mason. " They pose a serious hazard not only to the
police but to the public who may be spending recreational time in the
wooded residential areas."

The street crime unit is continuing their efforts to locate and
eradicate outdoor marihuana grow operations throughout Shelburne
County and is seeking assistance from the public.
