Police net $2 million cannabis crop in Mascot warehouse
IF you think you struggle with an endless array of annoying power cords at home, check out this disaster waiting to happen that police uncovered during a drug raid in Sydney’s southeast yesterday.
In a sight sure to make any electrician sweat, the shambolic power setup found in the warehouse on Chalmers Cres Mascot consisted of hundreds of electrical cords haphazardly connected to each other and plugged into dozens of outlets on a makeshift wall.
This was just one of three banks of rudimentary power supply that was found in the building where police from the Redfern Region Enforcement Squad uncovered an extensive hydroponic setup for the manufacture of cannabis, together with 653 cannabis plants with a potential street value of more than $2 million.
