A 52-year-old man from the R.M. of McCreary has been charged after Ste. Rose du Lac RCMP discovered a marijuana grow operation. RCMP said they seized 168 plants and a small amount of dried and cut marijuana on Jan. 6 in an area residence.
The Office of the Fire Commissioner was also called to the home, as police believed the electrical wiring for the growing equipment was substandard and potentially hazardous to the people living there.
William Burnett has been charged with producing marijuana. He was released on a promise to appear in a Dauphin courtroom on Mar. 15.
