EDMONTON - Two men are facing charges after Edmonton police pulled over a truck filled with up to 1,500 freshly cut marijuana plants tied in bundles.
Police say they got a tip Thursday night from a citizen who told them he'd been driving behind a cube van that was giving off a strong odour of marijuana.
Officers who responded to the call said they also smelled the pot plants about half a block before they pulled over the van.
Roughly 400 kilograms of pot was taken from the vehicle and the driver and a passenger were arrested without incident.
Charges of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking have been laid against Dihn Xuan Luu, 44 and Deng Xuan Dihn, 51.
