Two Calgary men are facing criminal charges in connection to what police say is the illegal operation of medicinal marijuana grow-ops.

The two separate operations were discovered in Harvest Hills in the northeast and in Sherwood in the northwest, police said in a release.



The investigations were led by the Green Team of the Alberta Law Enforcement Response Teams (ALERT).



Police say both men, who were arrested late last month, were licensed to grow medicinal marijuana but had violated the terms because the number of permitted plants was exceeded.

The men face several charges including possession for the purpose of trafficking and theft of utilities.



Both residences were deemed uninhabitable following a health inspection, police said.



ALERT was established and is funded by the Alberta government as a compilation of the province’s most sophisticated law enforcement resources committed to tackling serious and organized crime.

I dont wish jail on anyone but some people are just so dumb.
If your growing a plant thats worth growing pay your fucking hydro bill.
If you cant afford the hydro u use your doing it wrong.
Stealing hydro is the equivilent of calling in a tip on yourself to the cops might as well tell them ur over your plant count while your on the phone....:fire:

rnr...is that really you?!!? I'd like your post but I don't want to give you the wrong impression. I think that's the first thing you've said that I agree with.

165 plants worth more than 200k.....seems way to high a value imo.
But the cops always screw folks this way making it sound bad just for public consumption.
The value of weed has always been way over blown in arrests and court cases but yet they continue to get way with it. Who are the real criminals here ?

Plus imo the " province’s civil forfeiture office " is just a cover name for a club house belonging to a band of theives.

Is it me or does there seem to be a lot of Asian immigrants with licences? And I'm not trying to be racist, discriminatory or anything else shitty you want to call me.
6-7 out of every non licenced grow is aswell.
They recruit them to come over just to babysit grow houses while they collect welfare. There was a documentary on youtube about it.
