The "very sophisticated" grow-op, believed the largest ever in Chilliwack, was housed in a house and two two-storey chicken barns on the farm, says RCMP Cpl. Sean Sullivan. A loaded 44 Magnum handgun, reported stolen from Kamloops in 1994, was also found along with 6,708 marijuana plants when a search warrant was executed on the property in the 47000-block Bailey Rd. Two Maple Ridge men, both 25, were expected to appear in court yesterday (Thursday) to face drug- and firearm-related charges. "There's no evidence to suggest how long it's been running, but definitely for several months," says Cpl. Sullivan. "We're confident they already harvested one crop." - --- MAP posted-by: Terry Liittschwager
