Australia: Giant cannabis plants found during police raid
---
Sydney police have found what they say are arguably some of the biggest
and highest quality cannabis plants seen in New South Wales.
The haul was discovered when officers raided two houses is southern
Sydney yesterday afternoon.
At a property in Omaha Street, Campsie, they allegedly found an
extensive hydroponic set-up, including 72 cannabis plants, some more
than three-metres high.
The plants have an estimated street value of $360,000.
Six grams of the drug ice was also found at the house.
At Trafalgar Street, Brighton-Le-Sands, investigators say they found
about 45-grams of cannabis and drug paraphernalia.
A 55-year-old man has been charged in relation to the raids and will
face court later today.
