One person has been arrested following the discovery of a suspected cannabis grow house in Rothesay Bay.
Police in °Â²¹¾±³Ù±ð³¾²¹³Ù¨¡ executed a search warrant at a Rothesay Bay, North Shore property yesterday, where more than 200 cannabis plants were located.
Acting Inspector CJ Miles, of °Â²¹¾±³Ù±ð³¾²¹³Ù¨¡ East Police, says the cannabis plants were at various stages of maturity.
¡°Police were alerted after visitors to the address smelt a strong smell of cannabis coming from the property.
¡°A total of 208 plants were seized for destruction and one person was arrested at the scene.¡±
Acting Inspector Miles says Police believe the plants are part of a wider organised crime group operating across T¨¡maki Makaurau and investigations are ongoing.
¡°This result was a combination of great work by concerned community members and our community based Police teams.
¡°It¡¯s pleasing to take this illegal drug off the streets and out of the hands of our community.¡±
