A CANU release noted that ranks visited the camp after receiving “intelligence.”
At the camp, CANU found a quantity of male and female clothing, a total of 5,000 cannabis plants ranging from 3-5 ft in height along with 15 100lb salt bags containing processed cannabis, equivalent to 500kgs (1,102lbs).
