Copper Ridge bust lasted 11 hours
By Candice O??Grady
Three marijuana grow operations totalling an estimated $2 million to $5 million in value were shut down by Whitehorse RCMP on Thursday afternoon.
The bust, which police are calling ??substantial?, involved three homes in the Copper Ridge subdivision.
A total of about 2,400 marijuana plants were seized from the three houses, with approximately 800 plants per house.
The estimated worth of the seized plants is broad because the drugs can be sold in bulk or by the joint, Sgt. John Sutherland said in an interview today.
The size of the plants varied widely, from baby plants just beginning to sprout to plants that reached 5 1/2 feet in height, Sutherland explained.
Five men were arrested in association with the grow-ops, three of whom are Whitehorse residents.
The other two men are from Vancouver.
They are facing charges of the production of a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking, both regarding marijuana.
One of the trio has also been charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking cocaine and another with possession of property obtained by crime.
While names are not being released by police, the three Whitehorse men are 26-, 44- and 43-years-old.
The Vancouver men are 36- and 40-years-old.
The bust lasted about 11 hours, beginning at around 4 p.m. and continuing through the night until about 3:00 this morning.
Officers from both the Whitehorse detachment and the Yukon-wide ??M? Division Drug Section descended on the homes with the police dog. They found both the plants and equipment associated with cultivating the drugs.
The equipment included lamps, shades and ballasts among other common tools used for growing marijuana, according to Sutherland.
??Anything you see on TV on a grow-op,? he said.
The exact addresses of the houses in Copper Ridge have not been released.
The seizure was the result of an ongoing investigation, Sutherland said.
??It??s been a long-term, ongoing investigation,? he said.
The men are set to appear in court today and police are continuing to investigate the matter.
The last major drug bust occurred in May.
RCMP seized approximately 101 kilograms (225 pounds) of marijuana from a vehicle driving into Whitehorse from the Alaska Highway. Two men from Squamish, B.C. were charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking.
The two busts cannot be directly compared as the circumstances were very different, according to Sutherland.
The May bust involved marijuana that had been harvested, packaged and was ready to sell. It had also been brought up to Whitehorse from B.C.
Thursday??s massive seizure involved plants grown within Whitehorse, he said. It is not known exactly how much marijuana would have been harvested from the thousands of plants.
Shutting down a grow-op has implications that reach far beyond the immediate drug seizure, Sutherland said.
??The proceeds from these types of operations go to support other criminal activities.
??It may not necessarily be in Whitehorse but that??s everything from prostitution to fraud and everything in between.?
The RCMP provide pamphlets to help residents recognize if a grow-op is operating in their neighbourhoods.
Community support is important in shutting down drug cultivation, Sutherland said.
