Two men who were in the act of ridding themselves of plastic bags full of cannabis plant leaves were interrupted by Chateauguay police on March 8.

Chateauguay police at about 8:30 p.m. that evening noticed a white van parked not far from the dry materials depot on Chemin St-Bernard. Two men were busily empting their vehicle of plastic bags which seemed to be full of earth.

In moving closer, however, police detected a cannabis odor which gave them sufficient cause to search the bags which were still inside the vehicle.

"Inside the bags, the police agents discovered leaves coming from cannabis plants," related Chateauguay police spokesperson Nathalie Langevin. She added that the producers of hydroponic cannabis often get rid of leaves in this manner and keep only the essentials.

In all, the police officers put their hands on 1.2 kilograms of leaves.

The two men, both LaSalle residents aged 32 and 39, will face charges of possession of cannabis for the purpose of trafficking. They were released on condition that they will appear in court.(Tr: D.R.)
