On March 22, members from the North District Integrated Marihuana Enforcement (NDIME) task force and 100 Mile House RCMP detachment executed another search warrant in the Lone Butte area.
RCMP converged on a Horse Lake Road property where they located a marijuana grow operation. Members seized approximately 275 plants and four pounds of dried marijuana along with related grow equipment and a vehicle used to transport the pot.
Two men were arrested and are facing charges for production of a controlled substance and possession for the purpose of trafficking. They will be making their first court appearance on June 5.
This investigation is part of the Marihuana Grow Initiative, the RCMP’s national strategy to combat marijuana grow operations and the organized crime groups running them. For more information on the National Anti-Drug Strategy, visit www.nationalantidrugstrategy.gc.ca
