A marijuana eradication exercise in Morvant on Monday morning led to the destruction of 40 fully grown marijuana trees which had a street value of $40,000.
The operation took place under the supervision of Snr Supt Maharaj, Supt Ramjohn, Supt Alexander, ASP Beharry, and others.
It was coordinated by Insp Bharath and Sgt Mitchell.
The officers journeyed up a mountain side in the Morvant district where they located the field.
It was recorded and destroyed.
Meanwhile, police are once again reminding citizens that the legal limit of marijuana is 30 grammes.
The reminder comes after 500 grammes of the drug were found along Cunapo Southern Main Road in Sangre Grande.
