A man is facing drug-related charges after a small fire in a Winnipeg apartment led police to a small marijuana grow-op.
On May 21, Winnipeg firefighters responded to sprinkler fire alarm at an apartment complex in the 700 block of Dufferin Avenue, police said in a news release on Wednesday.
By the time the firefighters arrived a man in the unit had extinguished the blaze, but something else caught their attention: marijuana leaves strewn throughout the suite and into the hallway leading to a second suite in the complex.
The Winnipeg Police Service green team unit was called in, search warrants were issued and the following items were seized:
13 marijuana plants with an estimated street value of $14,500.
$5,000 worth of growing equipment.
20 grams marijuana, estimated street value $200.
3 kilograms of marijuana, estimated street value $30,000.
$300 in cash.
A man, 42, is facing drug-related offences including two counts of possessing substance for the purpose of the trafficking, production of controlled substance and possessing proceeds of crime, police said.
He has been released on a promise to appear.
