Salmo bust nets 85 plants and 26 pounds of pot
By Trail Champion
Tuesday saw police seize 26 pounds of marijuana and 85 pot plants with an estimated street value between $50,000 and $150,000 during a drug raid in Salmo, according to RCMP Darryl Orr.
Orr said the search, conducted by the Trail Crime Reduction Unit with assistance from the Trail and Salmo RCMP detachments, saw one male arrested and charged with production, possession and trafficking of a controlled substance.
“Given the quantity of the seizure, it is reasonable to suspect that this marijuana, in part, was destined for sale within the City of Trail,” he added. “The Trail Crime Reduction Unit remains dedicated (to) preventing drugs from coming to Trail and hitting the streets of our community.”
