$84 MILLION IN MARIJUANA FOUND NEAR BROADWAY by Nancy McCleary, (Source:Fayetteville Observer) Regional News
North Carolina ------- LILLINGTON -- A marijuana-growing operation found in Harnett County on Tuesday included a homemade irrigation system, two crude huts for caretakers, and fertilizers and pesticides.
"I've never seen one set up like this before," Sheriff Larry Rollins said Wednesday. "It's a farming operation." It could have been a profitable venture, Rollins said. Officers found 35,000 marijuana plants with a street value of $84 million growing in eight plots in an isolated area off Womack Road in the Broadway community. The discovery was made from a helicopter used by officers during their annual marijuana eradication efforts, Rollins said.
"When it was found, what we heard from the air was, 'Go get some help,'" Rollins said.
The plants were being grown on 10 acres that had been re-seeded after trees were cut for timber, Rollins said.
"There was a creek nearby where they had 700 to 800 feet of garden hoses running through the woods to the plots with small pumps to irrigate," Rollins said.
Pools used to mix fertilizers and pesticides had been dug at each plot, he said. "There were cases of rat poison to put out and keep away pests, rodents, deer and other animals," Rollins said.
Some of the plants had been pruned, indicating they were reaching maturity, he said. They ranged in height from 1 foot to 4 feet, Rollins said. No charges have been filed. Rollins would not identify the property owners but said the area was used for deer hunting several years ago. Anyone with information is asked to call the Harnett County Sheriff's Office at
