DUTHIE AVENUE GROW GOOD FOR MANY JOINTS

Local residents can help police find grow ops in the city by staying
alert for the signs: blacked-out windows, frequent short-stay
visitors, the smell of marijuana at certain times of the day.

A call to the Burnaby RCMP detachment at 604-294-7922 could lead
officers to something similar to what they found with a search warrant
in the 900 block of Duthie Avenue on Friday evening.

Officers with the problem oriented policing team dismantled a
762-plant grow op, which would have been enough to make close to
385,000 joints, according to police. Well beyond that required for
personal consumption, notes Burnaby RCMP's Cpl. Jane Baptista.

A 38-year-old woman is facing charges of production of a controlled
substance, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of
trafficking and theft of electricity.
