Prince George RCMP have taken down what is believed to be the largest marijuana grow operation ever discovered in British Columbia.
About 18,000 marijuana plants, with an estimated street value of $2.2 million, have been destroyed after being seized May 27 at a gigantic grow operation in the area of Eaglet Lake near Giscome, located 40 km east of Prince George.
The marijauna was being grown in 20 makeshift greenhouses while three tents housed the marijauna growers in a remote area that is basically uninhabited.
Two Asian men, aged 41 and 29 of Quebec, and a 37-year-old Asian man from Vancouver have been arrested and are in custody. But police believe others are involved from what has been found in the sleeping and cooking tents. The investigation is ongoing. Read more in The Citizen.
