Big Drug Bust Out Beaver Creek

[The Invisible Man]

Organized crime is likely involved in a large-scale marijuana grow operation that RCMP busted in Beaver Creek and Errington, Oceanside RCMP Cpl. Jesse Foreman said.

Port Alberni RCMP and the Island District Drug Section simultaneously took down grow operations on rural properties in Errington and Port Alberni on June 6.

Police found marijuana growing in industrial-size greenhouses in the Beaver Creek section of Port Alberni. Seized were 2,500 marijuana plants from each site for a combined value of more than $1 million. “It’s one of the larger operations we’ve seen recently,” Foreman said.
