CAN (BC): Marijuana grow operation shut down at former nursery
Six people were arrested and released at the scene as part of the search warrant executed at the Gillanders Road property.
The five-acre property in question is owned by Chang Yu Xu as of Oct. 21, 2016, according to city records. Prior to that it was owned by members of the Visscher family all the way back to 1973. The mailbox on the property still says “Visscher Greenhouses.”
Most of the property — which is nearly surrounded by larger properties owned by Devry Nurseries — is covered with greenhouses, although some smaller hoophouses on the south end of the property were destroyed, likely in the recent winter snow and ice events.
