POLICE seized a âlarge quantityâ of cannabis as well as restricted drugs, explosives and a weapon during a raid at a Yeppoon house last month.
More than 400g of marijuana was found at the property on November 6, and 30-year-old Howard John Widdowson was charged with eight offences, mostly drug related.
In Yeppoon Magistrates Court last Thursday, Widdowson pleaded guilty to all of the offences which included possessing explosives and a Category A weapon.
The court heard police found five cannabis plants growing in a chook pen at Widdowsonâs Yeppoon residence as well as seedlings growing in the backyard, weighing a total of 354g.
