Criminogenic Cannabis Culture Policed

March 11, 2009

(snip from STUFF – Nelson Mail))

The recovery of stolen property and firearms showed that cannabis offending was linked to other crimes, Mr Savage said. (why? because it said so in the Drug Harm Index?)


The seven-day operation saw teams of between 14 and 17 police officers search properties, carry out land searches, and conduct aerial searches using an Air Force Iroquois helicopter.
Mr McGurk said the scale of the problem of cannabis being grown in the region meant police would continue to target growers through similar operations. (and the cost/benefit is? Oh that’s right, Drug Harm Index again… )
