How many times were you aware of criminal acts that were taking place or are even now taking place but didn’t think it was any or your business to say anything? Think about it because you pay taxes for police coverage so if there is more crime then more police are needed. If there is more crime then more insurance claims are made and you are paying for that through your insurance premiums. And do you really think that criminals with a marihuana grow operation are paying for the massive amounts of electricity that they are using, or do you think they have bypassed the meter so you end up paying for that too.

This will be the time of year that a lot of suspicious activity will be taking place throughout Sarnia and Lambton County and Crime Stoppers needs your help to identify the locations that marihuana growers take their crops to process. Since these plants are bulky they will require a lot of space and there will be strong odours and moisture generated from them drying. These crops may be getting processed in a rural location, home in small town Ontario or in the city of Sarnia. Some have been processed in abandoned warehouses and garages.

We also asked who would harvest crops at night or at times when nobody was looking as well as what types of crops they were harvesting? Some people thought that we were talking about the jolly green giant whereas others got our message loud and clear. The only giants we’re looking for are the ones that grow over 6 feet tall and are hiding out this time of year in corn fields, bush lots and other secluded areas and then make their way into basements and sheds to be packaged and sold. So this week’s trivia question is, who doesn’t need a little bit of extra cash this time of year? Why not earn it by calling Crime Stoppers today with your tip on suspected marihuana growing locations.

These mischiefs took place on Cardinal Lane, Devonshire Road, Egremont Road and Mocking Bird Lane. The suspects entered garages, vehicles and a boat and stole several items. These included a DVD unit installed in a family van, loose change, reading glasses, men’s black Super cycle bicycle and a battery charger. Items that were also stolen but later recovered a short distance away were a pressure washer, hand tools, and a Kawasaki 250 dirt bike with the ignition wiring cut.
