Drug trafficking charge after discovery of hydroponic cannabis setup, Noosaville
Noosa detectives yesterday, as part of an-ongoing drug operation code-named Operation Romeo Rhino, discovered an alleged large-scale and sophisticated cannabis production set-up which saw a 38-year-old man arrested and charged with drug trafficking.
Police executed four search warrants at addresses in Lysaght Street, Coolum Beach, Bellbird Drive, Peregian Springs, Straker Street, Cooroy and Leo Alley Drive, Noosaville.
It will be alleged at a Leo Alley Drive business police located a commercial cannabis production with officers discovering four shipping containers converted into grow rooms. Police seized approximately 27kgs of the illicit drug consisting of around 100 plants, as well as dried cannabis in cryovac bags. A number of exhibits were also seized including electrical appliances and lighting.
About 27kg of plants were seized during raids on Wednesday. A 27 year old Coolum Beach man was charged with two counts of producing dangerous drugs as well as possession and other drug-related offences. A 25-year-old Eumundi woman was charged with producing dangerous drugs. The trio were due to appear in Noosa Magistrates Court on June 1. Another 36 year old man from Noosaville was charged with possession of a dangerous drug and was drug diverted. Detective Sergeant Tim Byrnes said on Wednesday there were at least seven rooms allegedly containing hydroponic marijuana which he said had an estimated street value of $100,000. We will allege the whole premise was being used for illicit purposes, he said.
