Drugs Seized & Charges Laid in Queens County Bust

Example of a Marijuna Grow Op

There's been a drug bust in Queens County.  The RCMP have charged two people after a search and seizure at a home in Brooklyn Monday evening.  Queens RCMP Staff-Sgt. Jeff Wells says they discovered a grow-op and seized 168 marihuana plants and 23 grams of marihuana.  He says: "Although there were a number of plants, some of them were not very large.  Actually, most of them are quite small. We basically did that on our own. It was the members of Queens District. We did do some drug enforcement over the weekend with the assistance of the street crime unit from Shelburne and a police dog from Yarmouth."  Arrested in connection with the grow-op were a 58-year-old man and a 58-year-old woman, both of Brooklyn.  They've since been released and are scheduled to appear in Liverpool Court, June 12th.
