Grow-op discovered by RCMP at a residence on a rural property in the RM of Tache.
A search of the residence and garage revealed a multi-stage grow operation. Police located just over 1,200 marijuana plants, sophisticated growing equipment, two large generators and a quantity of Canadian currency.
RCMP report that a 38-year-old man and a 31-year-old woman were arrested without incident at the location. Both are facing charges of production of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and possession of the proceeds of crime. Both have been released from custody and are scheduled to appear in Winnipeg Provincial Court on June 27, 2013.
RCMP continue to combat the trade of illegal marijuana and to eliminate the risks that grow operations pose to communities.
