Several departments of the OPP have put a major dent in the drug trade in Northern Ontario after finding a multi-million dollar grow op near Espanola.  The outdoor marijuana operation was discovered in the Massey area and involves 3,100 marijuana plants worth $3.1 million.  OPP units raided the site, arrested two men and seized the plants.

The men are charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking and production of marijuana.  Both are from Markham and in their mid-30’s.  The investigation into the grow op continues.
