RCMP Provincial Spokesperson Cpl. Chantal Farrah tells Tide News how the drug raids take place. She says they rely strongly on information from the public, such as tips to Crimestoppers to find where the grow-ops are taking place. She adds the RCMP use all-terrained vehicles, their own vehicles, as well as help from helicopters to spot the plants from the air.
Farrah says it is never too late for someone to report a grow-op. And they can do so my calling Crimestoppers, reporting it to the website at crimenb.ca, or directly call the RCMP.
Cpl. Farrah also has a message for parents: "I know there are alot of misconceptions out there about marijuana, but for parents, please be reminded that marijuana is often the drug that youth will start first, and then go on to harder drugs. It is not harmless."
