Police have uncovered a large and sophisticated hydroponic cannabis operation inside a million-dollar home in Sydney’s Hills District.
Dozens of cannabis plants were found inside nearly every room of the Castle Hill home during the police bust on Tuesday, with a sophisticated electrical setup to power hydroponic grow lights.
A 26-year-old man has been charged with cultivate commercial quantity of cannabis by enhanced means following the raid on the home.
Many Aussies were quick to joke about the discovery after police shared photos on Facebook.
One wrote: ‘Is this how you afford a Castle Hill house these days?’
Another Facebook user shared a similar joke about the rising cost of living: ‘The things people do to afford Sydney toll roads.’
Meanwhile other Aussies joked about getting a hold of some of the cannabis plants themselves.
‘Where will they be burning it all … asking for a friend.’
Another said: ‘When’s the police auction wouldn’t mind bidding on few items.’
