Another marijuana grow operation in Westside has been put out of business.
Rural RCMP raided the home in the 2400 block of Asquith Court in the Shannon Lake area Tuesday.
"Police located and seized approximately 400 marijuana plants, as well as seven firearms," says Constable, Julie Rattee.
"A hydro bypass was located at the scene, indicating the theft of electricity."
Rattee says there was nobody in the home at the time of the raid.
This is the second major grow-op bust in Westside during the past week.
On August 21, police seized 700 plants at a home in Rose Valley.
