Man’s home restrained after Higgins drug bust

POLICE have granted a restraining order over a $1.1m Higgins residence after they seized 31 cannabis plants and a firearm. 

Officers searched the property on Friday (July 10) and uncovered a sophisticated hydroponic cannabis growing operation spread across multiple rooms.

They also discovered and seized a single barrel shotgun. 

No arrests have been made but police would like to speak to the 40-year-old owner of the property who was not home at the time of the search warrant.

Police are encouraging the man to present himself to Belconnen Police Station.

Anyone who may have any information regarding business or residential addresses being used for any type of criminal activity in the ACT should contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333000, or via the Crime Stoppers ACT website
