Police Seize Over 150 Marijuana Plants

Over 150 marijuana plants have been seized from a house in Mainstream. 

Police officers with the Hartland RCMP, helped out by Florenceville RCMP and the Woodstock Police Force, executed a search warrant where they found the plants, in various stages of growth and a quantity of marijuana.

They detained a 56-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman from Mainstream, but they were later released. The pair will appear in court at a later date to face charges related to the marijuana seizure.

Worst of the Snow Is Behind Us

A blanket of snow on the ground is not sight anyone would want to wake up to in the middle of April. But Mel Lemon, a meteorologist with Environment Canada tells us that snow this time of year is normal.

Lemon tells us that approximately 5cm of snow fell, but that it's hard to get an accurate reading when the ground is so warm. The system that brought us snow last night is currently moving south of Nova Scotia, but we'll still see some precipitation today: we'll see between 2-4 centimetres of snow this morning, which will taper off to flurries and showers later on this afternoon.
