Three Hills RCMP have broken up the second grow op in less than a week, this time seizing more than a half million dollars worth of marijuana.
On Friday, April 19, the Three Hills RCMP and the Green Team South executed a search warrant at a rural residence north of Trochu.
The police operation was without incident as police discovered and then dismantled a three stage grow op in the basement of a house.
The operation had 406 plants with a street value of $507,500.
This bust follows just two days after another marijuana grow operation was discovered in the vicinity. It has a street value of $352,500.
No one was discovered at either location and no arrests have been made. Police continue to investigate.
