Busted POLICE seize cannabis plants in Seaford. They received a community tip-off about a factory on Keppler Circuit. No arrests were made on the day. Pictures: Supplied
Huge cannabis bust at Seaford factory Brodie Cowburn brodie@baysidenews.com.au MORE than $2 million worth of cannabis was found at a Seaford factory last week. Police raided the commercial prop-
erty on Keppler Circuit at around midday on 7 March. They seized 1500 cannabis plants, as well as some mobile phones and laptops. Police allege the street value of the drugs is around $2.5 million. Nobody was arrested in relation to the drug bust on the day of the raid.
Police will continue investigating the find. The raid was sparked by a community tip-off. Mornington divisional response unit acting detective sergeant Chris Fidler said “if you observe or hear any suspicious behaviour, such as covering or black-
ing out windows, strong plant smells and unusual or pedestrian movement, please call police.” “The cultivation of cannabis has several negative consequences for the community including funding further criminal activity,” he said. “When we uncover a crop house
and no arrests are made on the day, full-scale investigations are launched with detectives working to track down those responsible.” Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or lodge a confidential report at www.crimestoppersvic.com.au.
