Wow I can see how the police are making all these busts they are really intelligent. I can tell that by the following statement; "People involved in this type of criminal activity are using rented houses or apartments, and some are in residential neighborhoods". Tell me where else are there houses or apartments besides residential neighborhoods? You can also find industries in industrial areas. What a waste of time and money, this is only a drop in the bucket and there's plenty more where that came from.

This story is another good reason why the gov needs to legalize the stuff and collect the tax money. If it was legal and you could buy it like booze and tobacco products we wouldn't have these people bring large quantizes into our province and hiding it in stash house. I think the real problem in this province is the harder drugs like cocaine and pills. The cops need to leave the weed a lone and use their resources on harder things than weed. You never hear of a disorderly person high on weed. I also agree with everyone else regading the price of weed, its not 9000$ a pound. If the RNC are going to report on the amount a least tell the truth and get it right. They just do that to make it look more than it is actually worth.

Supposedly Louis Trung Huynh has a couple or more driver licenses and identities. If he is bailed, he will probably make a beeline out of the province, never to be seen again.

Apparently you don't need math to be an RNC officer....I love how they make up street values! You're not fooling anybody guys! I'll pop by the station on my lunch break and give you a calculator cause your numbers are WAY off.

They do this all the time! It's always a numbers game to make it sound more shocking to the public. A recent cbc special had the cops claiming a group was moving 1 - 1.5 million per month. The PUBLIC court records of that case do not support that claim at all! It's not even remotely close actually. They had actual proof of about 1/6th of that amount over the whole investigation. It's just random numbers made up in their heads to add shock value and gain public support. Just a heads up, not everyone in the public is so naive to believe everything the police and / or media tell us.

It does seem to be a never ending battle to quench demand. But to those who would legalize pot I would ask! If it was legal why do you think these dealers would disappear?

They would disappear because they can't afford to sell 3 dollar grams like the government could (and does for medical purposes). If you need a historical example, look at what making alcohol illegal did for Al Capone. This War has been done before and it fails every time. We should know better by now

Whatever you do, DON'T LEGALIZE IT -- men like Mr. Huynh would be out of a job, and the police would have less work to do!

Please stop publishing fake numbers. $780000 is not the street value of 82 lbs of pot. Its about half of that. Why do the police continue to lie to the people they serve?

Has anyone actually done the math on the supposed "street value"? 86 lb x 454 g/lb= 39009 g 39009 g x 10$/g = $390,090 which is a LITTLE less than the claim of $780,000. Let's see..... $390,090 x 2 = $780,180 It appears that they just decided to double the street value of said drugs to elevate the impact of the bust in the eyes of the public. Well, your not fooling everyone. Good work though to all involved. Our city would be at a loss without your services.

20 changed to 15 back around 1998. 15 changed to 10 sometime in the early 2000s

I think some drugs should be legalized, In the 30s booze was outlawed, There was machine gun fights in the streets by mobsters, The stories of the Untouchables were true to life stories, Al Capon got his booze from ST. Pierre et Miquelon AL Capone built the hospital at Grand Bank, it is said he died in prison from a sexual transmitted condition. Then booze was legalized there was no more shouts in the streets, The same thing would happen if the legalized some drugs, drugs that are not as addictive, as some of the hard drugs now on the streets

It's weed, who cares? 50% of the population thinks it should be legal and even the USA is moving in that direction. The fact that this is not being legally sold and taxed to help pay for health care and education is ridiculous.

You don't see people trying to sell you beer or liquor on the streets do you?
