DRUGS DUG DEEP
Talk About Burying The Evidence.
More than 20,000 marijuana plants seized from Barrie's former Molson
brewery plant are now buried in a landfill site - under 10 feet of
earth and 10 feet of garbage.
Police would not say where the stash from the largest and most
sophisticated indoor marijuana grow operation in Canada is buried.
Investigators are still at the Big Bay Point Road crime scene and are
in the process of removing large equipment, such as ventilation
apparatus and lights, used in the indoor grow operation.
All equipment is being seized as evidence.
The illegal operation was discovered when police executed a search
warrant early Saturday, Jan. 10.
More than 60,000 square feet of space in the facility was used for the
factory-type setup, which operated on a 24-hour-a-day basis.
The operation was capable of producing up to three or four crops a
year, generating hundreds of millions of dollars for the criminals
responsible for the process.
Nine people have been charged so far and are currently before the
courts.
Members of the Huronia Combined Forces Drug Unit and Barrie city
police, under the direction of the Ontario Provincial Police Criminal
Investigation Branch, are continuing the investigation.
