New South Wales police have seized an estimated $3 million worth of cannabis from a warehouse in Bankstown.
After several weeks of watching and waiting, police raided a warehouse in Bankstown’s industrial district on May 18th. Inside, they found a large-scale cannabis cultivation operation hidden in plain sight.
Police believe the operation could have been running for several years, turning over millions of dollars of cannabis annually. While they did not specify an exact number, police believe they have seized over 600 cannabis plants valued at over $3 million.
The cannabis plants were stacked into six large rooms on the property. Each room was fitted with heat lamps, makeshift irrigation systems and piles of empty fertiliser bottles. According to 7News, the property was allegedly powered with stolen electricity through a “spaghetti maze of cables.”
