(NORFOLK COUNTY, ON) – The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), Norfolk County Detachment have seized a quantity of marihuana plants after attending a Concession Road 8, Charlotteville, Norfolk County Ontario address.
On Tuesday, September 9, 2014 at approximately 10:41 am, police were contacted by a concerned citizen after they discovered what appeared to be Marihuana in a bush lot and along the bush lines of the property.
Through investigation it was determined that unknown suspects cleared a section of a bush lot located near a residence and planted approximately thirty-seven suspected Marihuana plants. Police subsequently located and removed the plants which totaled approximately $37,000 dollars. The OPP are reminding residents and visitors of the dangers associated with outdoor marihuana grow-ops.
The numerous public safety risks include the potential presence of weapons and ammunition found on grow-op sites, and the potential for booby traps, rigged by the criminals growing these plants in an attempt to defend their illegal crops from other criminals known as ‘pot pirates’. All of these factors could lead to dangerous confrontations for unsuspecting, innocent people – including children – who just happen to be in the area of these illegal crops.
