Six people are facing charges after Ontario Provincial Police seized roughly $8-million worth of cannabis plants in Niagara Falls.
OPP began investigating a strong cannabis odour coming from what many thought was an abandoned warehouse on Don Murie Street in Niagara Falls.
Police raided the property and found more than 2,500 clone cannabis plants and more than 13,000 vegetative and mature budding cannabis plants.
