By: The Brandon Sun

Police unearthed an indoor hydroponic marijuana grow operation in a trailer just outside Brandon yesterday.

Blue Hills RCMP raided a Campbellā€™s Trailer Court home five kilometres east of the city at 11:28 a.m.

Inside, they found immature marijuana plants, some about 60 centimetres tall, growing in pots. They also seized other items, such as lights and fertilizer.

Mounties arrested a 45-year-old Brandon man. He faces various drug production and possession charges.

The suspect was released on an undertaking and is expected to make a Brandon court appearance on Dec. 14.
