Marijuana plants seized from a home Elgin

A marijuana grow operation was discovered over the weekend by Caledonia RCMP.  Members were called to the Hillside Road in Elgin to initially respond to a complaint.
Police seized approximately 425 marijuana plants and growing equipment and could potentially produced over 212,500 joints.

A 43-year-old woman will be appearing in Moncton Provincial Court at a later date to face related charges.

Lottery-Win

A couple from Saint John has won the $1-million grand prize in the Atlantic 49 lottery draw on the weekend.
Linda DeFazio and Gary King say they plan to buy a new car and go on a cruise.

DeFazio says she brought the ticket into the store to be checked Sunday morning and the cashier ran it through the machine twice, thinking it was broken when it showed the big win.

DeFazio says she loves her job at the Value Village discount store and has no plans to quit.
