An unlicensed marijuana grow operation with an estimated 20,000 plants was taken down on Tuesday morning, following an RCMP investigation.
Sgt. Stephane Lacroix of the Summerland RCMP said police with a search warrant entered the grow operation on Sinclair Road on Tuesday at 8:30 a.m.
He said the operation was a cloning facility with around 690 mother plants and 19,200 smaller plants.
A 33-year-old Summerland man was arrested in the incident.
A woman in her mid 20s was also in the house at the time of the search. The Ministry of Children and Family Development was contacted as two young children were also found in the house.
The man was later released on a promise to appear at a later date. The woman was released without processing.
Lacroix said police had received information about the grow operation and had been conducting an investigation for the past four months.
