A 55-year-old man faces several charges after police discovered a cannabis-growing operation in Roxburgh.
On January 17, police executed a search warrant at a Roxburgh house, inside which they found five indoor tents which housed 12 mature cannabis plants, Sergeant Adam Elder, of Alexandra, said.
Alongside the plants, a quantity of dried-out cannabis was found in packages, which police allege was ready for distribution.
Three high-powered air rifles were also located at the address and have since been seized.
The man has been charged with possession of cannabis for supply, cultivating cannabis and possessing equipment to cultivate cannabis, and is due to reappear in the Alexandra District Court on Thursday.
In another search on the same day, at a different property in Roxburgh, police located a large amount of drug paraphernalia, including utensils believed to be used for smoking methamphetamine, in a house bus.
Inquiries are ongoing.
