Drug Bust: Police Seize Pot Plants & Firearm

RCMP have seized 275 marihuana plants and a firearm after a weekend raid in Shelburne County. Police say they discovered the plants after they blitzed a remote camp in Upper Clyde River on Saturday. It took officers six hours to collect all the pot plants while they executed a search warrant. Corporal Nancy Wilson says the seizure is a good reminder that marihuana harvesting season is around the corner. She says police will continue to dismantle grow operations in an effort to keep illegal drugs off the street. Police say the camp was unoccupied at the time of the seizure but a production charge is expected.
