OPP make $158,000 marijuana bust in Leamington

Three people are facing charges after Leamington OPP happened upon a marijuana-growing operation in a residence on Seacliff Drive last week.

Provincial police said officers went to an address in the 100 block of Seacliff Drive on July 4 for an “unrelated incident.”

The discovery of the grow-op resulted in the arrest of a 54-year-old male, a 46-year-old male, and a 40-year-old female — all Leamington residents.

Police estimate the total value of the seized pot at $158,300.

Charges include production of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, and breach of recognizance.

All three suspects are scheduled for court appearances on Aug. 21.
