A major illegal cannabis bust by provincial police in Niagara Falls.

The investigation began when police learned of a strong cannabis odour coming from what appeared to be an abandoned warehouse on Don Murie Street.

Using a search warrant last week, police found plants with a potential street value of roughly $8-million.

Police say six people are charged with cultivating cannabis without authorization.

  • Xueqi GAO, 59 of no fixed address
  • Jeffrey LIAN, 41 of no fixed address

They were released from custody, and have a future court date at the end of May.
