On October 9, Ontario Provincial Police in Orillia executed a search warrant in Ramara Township, seizing several thousand cannabis plants and more than 100 kilograms of dried cannabis.
Police say seven individuals between the ages of 56-68 y/o face multiple charges in connection with the raid. The search warrant was executed on the property with the assistance of neighbouring street crime units.
Law enforcement say they began an investigation into the property in August, which was connected to a personal or designated medical production licence. The “grow was outdoors and significantly over the licensed amount” said OPP in a media release.
Police seized 2,125 cannabis plants and 111 kilograms of dried cannabis.
Charges have been laid against Yong Li, 68, of Ramara, Lifang Yang, 56, of Scarborough, Xuan Zhu, 56, of Thornhill, Yanling Su, 57, of Markham, Yanbing Li, 60, of no fixed address, Wu-qin Su, 59, of Scarborough, and Jiezhen Chen, 57, of Vaughan, with possession for the purpose of distribution and unlawful cultivation of cannabis.
