A man has been charged with additional drugs offences as part of a two-year investigation into a hydroponic house in the Hunter.
In March 2018, officers attended a home on Honeysuckle Drive, Aberglasslyn, where they located a large amount of cannabis.
Two days later, on Monday March 26, strike force detectives executed a search warrant at the property, which had allegedly been converted into a hydroponic house.
Officers located and seized a number of items, including 321 cannabis plants and over 22kg of loose cannabis leaf.
As part of ongoing inquiries, police attended a home on Dimmock Street at Hunterview, near Singleton, on on September 16 2020, where officers allegedly located and dismantled another elaborate hydroponic setup.
A 28-year-old man was arrested and charged; he remains before the courts.
Following further inquiries, police issued the man a Court Attendance Notice for cultivating a large commercial quantity of prohibited plant on Monday October 12.
He is due to next appear at Muswellbrook Local Court on November 16.
