Cannabis bust

Two people were charged with the cultivation of cannabis when they appeared in the North Shore District Court last week following a raid on a house in Wellsford.

Police searched a house on Rodney Street, opposite Rodney College, on August 17 and discovered a professional cannabis growing operation. They say a “significant amount” of cannabis plants and harvested material were seized as well as a sum of cash and equipment for growing cannabis.

The offenders, aged 39 and 60, were arrested and will again appear in court on September 13. A police spokesperson says the investigation is ongoing and Police cannot rule out further arrests or charges.
