Quesnel RCMP nipped in the bud a growing marijuana operation in the 1000 block of Rainbow Road.
On March 18, with search warrant in hand, police located a two story residence that featured a large underground bunker being used to produce marijuana.
Police said both floors of the house were full with about 3,000 marijuana plants. The bunker was in the early stages of production and had a potential of housing marijuana with a street value of about $10,000,000.
Police seized all marijuana and about $20,000 worth of grow equipment. Investigation of the grow operation shows ties to Asian organized crime out of the Lower Mainland. No one was home to greet arriving police, but the investigation continues.
