ONLINE VIDEO LEADS TO LISMORE CANNABIS BUST

An online video showing large cannabis crops has led to the arrest of a man in Lismore.

Police executed a search warrant at a home on Lodge Road Mountain yesterday after the video appeared on a Facebook page.

Around 150 cannabis plants and over 350 cannabis seedlings were allegedly located.

Police say the cannabis has an estimated street value of up to $700,000.

A 49-year-old man was charged with cultivating a prohibited plant in a commercial quantity, supplying cannabis and two counts of possessing a prohibited drug.

He will appear at Lismore Local Court in April.
