Ainslie grow house busted

police

ACT Policing has seized 23 cannabis plants following the execution of a warrant on a home in Ainslie yesterday (Friday July 25).

About 5.10pm yesterday, police attended the location after receiving a report of a possible grow house inside the home.

The owner of the home had gone to inspect his rental property when he observed a number of items indicating a hydroponic setup. The owner has called police and left the property.

Police conducted an external search of the property which confirmed the complainant’s observations and a crime scene was set up.

About 9.10pm, police executed a search warrant on the home and located a hydroponic setup within two rooms and 23 cannabis plants.

The plants were seized along with the hydroponic setup, including transformers, leads, irrigation and lighting.

An offender has been identified and enquiries are continuing with the man to be summonsed at a later date.
