Police confiscated 723 plants, all in various stages of growth, along with 15 pounds of dried marijuana said to be valued at $68,000. Processing and growing equipment, as well as chemicals, were also seized by police.

One man was arrested on drug-related offences but was later released on a Promise to Appear in court.
