In total, approximately 1,000 plants were cut down and taken away for incineration at sites in Halton Hills, Milton and Burl- ington. None were discovered in Oakville. With each plant producing about six ounces of the narcotic, valued at about $200 an ounce on the street, Tanner estimated that between $800,000 to $1.2 million worth of marijuana was taken out of circulation. "It's a fairly large and signifi- cant haul for this type of project," said Tanner. "It certainly doesn't all take place today and our drug units are working on these things in Halton and around the province at this time of year. It's quite common in a lot of the rural areas. Some- times it's difficult to determine exactly who has planted them and who's cultivating. Sometimes we do (know) and sometimes we can't, but that's the sort of size for this project today." Det. Paul Foley said that he expects officers to be busy with similar eradication efforts over the next one to three weeks in what's considered prime time for harvesting marijuana crops. Officers wouldn't say how the crops at the Halton Hills location were discovered, but Foley noted that seizures typically come from calls from landowners who come across the plants or by thermal imaging from low-flying patrol airplanes or helicopters. Police find 'large haul' of pot plants in cornfield Halton Regional Police Chief Ste- phen Tanner (right) and Constable Paul Cavan survey the marijuana plants growing in the middle of a corn field, just off the Eighth Line in Halton Hills.
