RCMP WEED ERADICATION CONTINUES

Local Mounties continue to help local residents with their backyard 
weed problems.

Thanks to RCMP helicopter surveillance, North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP 
uprooted 28 marijuana plants on Friday.

The plants were discovered on four separate plots at a Castley Road residence.

"Some of the plants were sizable and reaching maturity when police 
attended," Const. Markus Lueder said in an email.

"Outdoor grow-ops are readily located by trained RCMP pilots and 
crew, even from significant altitudes," he added.

Those areas are photographed from the air, and the information and 
location are passed to the local detachment for follow-up.

Friday's bust marks the fourth grow-op shut down by local cops that 
has been reported in the past month.
