Public assistance led RCMP officers to a marijuana grow-op east of Enderby.

Officers searched a property on Potrie Road, near Mabel Lake, Wednesday at 8 p.m. after receiving an anonymous tip.

“The search resulted in the seizure of 1,057 marijuana plants located outside on the property,” said Gord Molendyk, RCMP spokesperson.

A 31-year-old man was arrested and has since been released for a future court date to face charges of production of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking.
