GROW-OP TEAM SUSPENDED OVER CLAIM OF THEFT
Langley Township’s marijuana grow-op busting team has been suspended in the wake of an allegation of theft against one of its members.
“One of the members took something that shouldn’t have been taken and it was inappropriate,” said Langley Township Fire Department Chief Doug Wade yesterday.
Wade is in charge of the township’s Public Safety Inspection Team, a multi-agency group that uses B.C. Hydro information to target power-sucking marijuana grow operations. The Langley team comprises a firefighter, two Mounties, an electrical advisor and a bylaw inspector.
A member of the team allegedly took a flashlight with two batteries, valued at between $25 and $30, from one of the raided homes.
Wade said the member could not immediately be replaced on the team so its operations have been suspended.
