One person has been arrested following the discovery of a suspected cannabis grow house in Rothesay Bay.

Police in Waitematā executed a search warrant at a Rothesay Bay, North Shore property yesterday, where more than 200 cannabis plants were located.

Acting Inspector CJ Miles, of Waitematā East Police, says the cannabis plants were at various stages of maturity.

“Police were alerted after visitors to the address smelt a strong smell of cannabis coming from the property.

“A total of 208 plants were seized for destruction and one person was arrested at the scene.”

Acting Inspector Miles says Police believe the plants are part of a wider organised crime group operating across Auckland and investigations are ongoing.

“This result was a combination of great work by concerned community members and our community based Police teams.

“It’s pleasing to take this illegal drug off the streets and out of the hands of our community.”

Police encourage anyone who notices any suspicious behaviour to contact online or by calling 105.

Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

  1. “Police were alerted after visitors to the address smelt a strong smell of cannabis coming from the property”

    Sounds like a couple of Jabcindas kind and caring “dob in” recruits doing their bit for the greater good of the dystopian globalist wet dream.

  2. Maybe cannabis cultivating connoisseurs should just say that their crops identify as tomato plants, I mean come on man, if it’s OK for the woke marxist gender alphabet soup cult to play pretend then so can we.

  3. The police are never going to win this war.

    Decriminalisation is the way. NOT legalisation to corporate interest.

    Let people be free to grow, possess personal amounts and consume their own. Then criminal gangs aren’t needed for supply
