$3.7m cannabis haul seized in Melbourne

Cannabis worth $3.7 million has been seized in raids on 12 homes across Melbourne’s southeast.

More than 1500 cannabis plants were seized from homes in simultaneous raids across the Dandenong region on Tuesday morning.

A 72-year-old Noble Park man and a 42-year-old Mulgrave woman are assisting police with inquiries and four other people have also been arrested.

Constable Kane Taylor said the raids would put a “huge dent” in the cannabis trade in Melbourne’s southeast.

“To seize such a large quantity of cannabis plants and equipment used in the cultivation process is pleasing because it means fewer drugs on our streets,” Constable Taylor said in a statement.

A significant amount of equipment related to cannabis cultivation has also been found.

The raids were carried out at 7.20am (AEDT) on homes in Dandenong, Springvale, Carrum Downs, Clarinda and Mulgrave.
