Australia: 28m dollars of cannabis seized by NSW police

Herald Sun

Friday 01 Apr 2011

CANNABIS worth more than $28 million has been seized across NSW during a four-month police operation.

A total of 13,987 cannabis plants from crops throughout the state were discovered by police as part of the 2010/11 cannabis eradication program, which ended today.

The crops were discovered through a mixture of intelligence-based investigations and aerial and ground searches, police said.

The total amount of cannabis seized had an estimated potential street value of $28 million.

"Preventing these drugs from hitting the streets is going to have an impact on the availability of cannabis in these areas and hopefully disrupt the supply chain," Drug Squad Commander, Detective Superintendent Nick Bingham, said in a statement.

Investigations into those responsible for cultivating the plants are continuing, with the operation set to return next year.

The cannabis eradication program has been running since the mid-1980s and is estimated to have kept cannabis worth more than $230 million off the streets.
