In early March, Mission RCMP arrested 49 people at a Silverdale property where 48 workers were in the middle of harvesting more than 3,000 marijuana plants. Last Friday, Mission RCMP encountered a "similar" situation when the executed search warrants at two neighbouring rural properties in northern Mission. "A total of 23 individuals were located at the two residences," said Staff Sgt. Jack Robinson. "The majority of the individuals located were initially detained for a short period of time and then released. A handful were taken into custody and later released." Mission RCMP are continuing to investigate. No charges have been laid in this latest incident, and Robinson also believes charges haven't been laid in the March 5 bust. - --- MAP posted-by: Jo-D
