WATSON — After Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP responded to an alarm at a non-residential building in Watson, officers discovered a cannabis grow operation that was in contravention of the Cannabis Act.
Police said they responded to the alarm at the Railway Avenue building on Jan. 18.
Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP said with the assistance of the RCMP Prairie Region cannabis co-ordinator, officers began investigating the grow operation and determined it was grown without a Health Canada medical license.
On Jan. 30, Humboldt-Lanigan RCMP said their officers obtained and executed a search warrant on the property. The search was completed with assistance from the RCMP-trained Clandestine Laboratory Team and the Seized Property Management Directorate.
Located and removed from the building were 424 plants at various levels of maturity, along with hydroponic equipment.
