"RCMP seize plants"

"Falkland RCMP have been busy shutting down marijuana grow operations.

On March 27 the RCMP attended a Highway 97 residence, near Falkland, to assist SPCA officials in searching a puppy breeding facility.

While on the scene, evidence of a marijuana grow operation was gathered and search warrant was subsequently executed. A total of 170 plants were seized, as was growing equipment.

The residents, a 49 year old man and 49 year old woman, were taken into custody, and charges are pending."
