The year is only one season old but on Thursday came word of the 17th marijuana grow-op bust in Prince George so far in 2010.
The latest bust happened on Wednesday in the 12000 block of the Hart Highway. Seven-hundred plants were found inside a home, but no people were present at the time.
Prince George Mounties also found a hydro bypass involved - a method of stealing electricity. Grow-ops typically need large amounts of power.
An investigation is underway to determine who had control of the home.
Anyone with information on this grow-op or any other drug activity is asked to call police at 250-561-3300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS / www.pgcrimestoppers.bc.ca.
