DELTA EARNS $80,000 FROM BYLAW TARGETING MARIJUANA GROWING
OPERATIONS

DELTA - A bylaw to make landlords more accountable for properties used
to grow marijuana has netted Delta more than $80,000 over the past two
years.

Out of 53 properties issued with non-compliance orders because they
had marijuana grow-ops, 41 have met the requirements so they could be
safely reoccupied.

That's a 77-per-cent compliance rate.

"It's not a monetary windfall, but it does ensure that landlords are
doing their due diligence in inspecting their properties," said Delta
police's drug section supervisor, Det.-Sgt. Harj Sidhu.
