On April 5, last, police in Linden acting on a tip-off swooped down on a marijuana farm at Old England Upper Demerara River and destroyed approximately 5,000 plants, some of them four feet in height. The crop weighed 7,000 pounds.
Three camps were also destroyed in the process on that farm. One of them had freshly cooked food, but no one was seen on the farm and as such no arrest was made.
Yesterday at 05:00hrs Linden police again swooped down on another ganja farm, again at Old England, Upper Demerara River.
On two acres of land there were seven beds. In the nursery were 18,000 plants and in the farm there were 15,000 plants ranging in height from one to four feet. The crop weighed some 80,000 pounds.
The farm was again destroyed by the police.
