Vernon

For the second time in a week, Vernon RCMP have dismantled a marijuana grow operation.

On Monday January 23, police seized over 1000 marijuana plants at a home in the 3700 block of 24 Avenue.

Again on Friday officers searched a home in the 4900 block of Old Kamloops Road and found 328 plants in various stages of development along with growing equipment.

RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk says no one was located inside the home at the time of the search, but police are expecting to make an arrest in the coming days.

"This investigation is part of the Marihuana Grow Initiative, the RCMP’s National strategy to combat Marihuana Grow operations, and the organized crime groups running them in our communities. "
