Sûreté du Québec raids marijuana grow-ops on South Shore

Submitted by Marijuana News on Fri, 06/12/2015 - 13:26

The Sûreté du Québec raided two large marijuana grow-ops on the South Shore Friday morning.

One was in the town of Pierreville, and the other one was in Saint-François-du-Lac. Both were used to grow the plants so that they could be re-transplanted outdoors.

Nearly 20,000 pot plants and cuttings, in different stages of growth, were seized.

The Pierreville grow-op had multiple rooms which housed plants, cuttings and mini-greenhouses.

The raid was part of Operation Cisailles (shears), that has been ongoing for several years.

Contrary to previous raids, where the police would search for outdoor pot plantations, the new approach is aimed at stopping the illegal activity before planting occurs, and arrests are possible.
