Po­lice have de­stroyed mar­i­jua­na which they say had a worth of an es­ti­mat­ed $2 mil­lion.

It was de­stroyed by of­fi­cers of the North East­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force dur­ing an an­ti-crime ex­er­cise con­duct­ed in the San Juan dis­trict.

The ex­er­cise, co­or­di­nat­ed by Se­nior Supt In­raj Bal­ram and su­per­vised by

Sgt Sime­on Guel­mo, they went to a house at La For­tune Ex­ten­sion, San Juan, where they con­duct­ed a search which re­sult­ed in

200 kilo­grammes of mar­i­jua­na and 400 mar­i­jua­na seedlings be­ing dis­cov­ered in the vicin­i­ty of the prop­er­ty.

The of­fi­cers al­so dis­cov­ered a quan­ti­ty of car parts which are be­lieved to have been stolen.

And in an un­re­lat­ed op­er­a­tion of­fi­cers of the South West­ern Di­vi­sion Task Force Area West seized a quan­ti­ty of mar­i­jua­na and one shot­gun.

In the ex­er­cise, co­or­di­nat­ed by Se­nior Supt. De­onar­ine Bas­deo and Se­nior Supt Sharon Gomez-Coop­er, the of­fi­cers went to a bushy area at Granville Ex­ten­sion where they dis­cov­ered 4.5 kilo­grammes of mar­i­jua­na, 500 small mar­i­jua­na trees, two buck­ets each con­tain­ing 4.5 kilo­grammes of mar­i­jua­na, 500 seedlings and one shot­gun. The drug has an es­ti­mat­ed street val­ue of $90,000.

The trees, seedlings and seeds were al­so de­stroyed.
