Australia: Police gobsmacked by monster cannabis
---
A MAN will face court today charged with growing some of the largest
cannabis plants NSW police say they have ever seen.
A 55-year-old man from the southern Sydney suburb of Brighton-le-Sands
will appear in Kogarah Local Court today after police discovered the
plants, some up to 3m tall.
Police raided two properties at Campsie and Brighton-le-Sands just
before 4pm yesterday.
The property in Campsie allegedly had 72 cannabis plants of various
sizes growing in an extensive hydroponic set-up.
The street value of the plants has been estimated at $360,000.
The man was arrested this morning and charged with cultivation and other
drug offences.
