RCMP Drug Seizure

The RCMP in eastern Manitoba say they have seized about 700 marijuana plants with a street value of about 700 thousand dollars.

Police raided a former business last Friday in the tiny community of Elma, which is about 60 kilometers northwest of Falcon Lake.

Sergeant Glen Reitlo said a prior grow-op investigation at a property in the rural municipality of Lac du Bonnet in September led police to raid the Elma location.

RCMP said two men were arrested in connection with the most recent seizure.
