MONTREAL (Reuters) - Canadian military police have seized close to 1,000 marijuana plants that were brazenly growing on an artillery range, an army spokesman said on Friday.
The plants, whose street value is estimated at C$1 million ($740,000), were found on the National Defense base at Nicolet, Quebec, used for artillery tests.
The base is a 45-square-kilometer (17-square-mile) compound complete with 2.5-meter (8-foot) fences, barbed wire and "danger, keep out" signs.
"It's very safe for us, but it could be a very dangerous place for a passerby," Capt. Steve Lebel said.
Any grower with common sense wouldn't grow there if there were any danger of being shot. Is it possible? An inside job? Never! NJC
