Half of town's residents get arrested in marijuana raids - GoFuckYourself.com

SEYMOUR ARM, British Columbia -- This lakeside hamlet is so remote it can be reached only by boat or logging road, and so small there is only one store. But investigators say many of the 60 residents were involved in one business operation -- growing marijuana.

One hundred Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers executed search warrants on 14 homes and 14 vehicles Tuesday and found several factory-sized operations within a 2 1/2-mile radius, said Police Superintendent Marianne Ryan. At least 16 people were arrested in the rustic town about 240 miles northeast of Vancouver and more arrests are likely, she said.

"We've never seen anything like this before, not where a whole community is affected this way," Ryan said.

The raid followed a two-year investigation that started with complaints from other residents, and some officers were approached on the town's dirt street by people who thanked them for the raid, officers said.

"These people are really glad this is over," Sgt. John Ward said.

Ed Doll, who has spent summers in Seymour Arm for 20 years, said the village was an ideal spot for marijuana businesses.

"This is a remote area only accessible by boat and a single logging road. It's the last place anyone would look," Doll said.

Shane Roth said he didn't want the place to be known for drug activity.

"I don't want people to think Seymour Arm and then think of that kind of culture," Roth said.

This could have just as easily happened in Hawaii. Most likely the Big Island.

Isn't it a pretty big operation in Hawaii, with all the plant life there people have small crops here and there.

Basic_man · 10-07-2004, 04:26 AM

pornstar2pac · 10-07-2004, 04:27 AM

I've been driving on the H1 (one of the 3 major highways on Oahu) and seen it growing in a backyard. I know there are certain places on this island where you're not supposed to go, ie if the people growing it catch you there you'll end up missing. I hear it's even more rampant on the Big Island.

and here I thought cannibis was legal in Ca.

I perosnally would be more worried about herion and cocaine than I would marijauna.

There are whole towns in Georgia that are farming Marijuana..they even elect sherriffs that are in on the cash crop.

Rich · 10-07-2004, 09:21 AM

LEGALIZE!

Joesho · 10-07-2004, 09:23 AM

Problem is, the bikers are controlling the weed sales in canada, and that adds a criminal element to it, so the right has some points when they want to get a raid like this conducted... I bet there is more to the story, cause if it was just weed, the mounties would have not gone in

mackey · 10-07-2004, 09:30 AM

240 miles north of vancouver?

god damn thats in the middle of no where!

Neighbours were complaining... the only reason the police do anything. If 100% of the town were in on it they never would have had a raid.
