Sergeant Cameron Ross, of the Warrnambool police divisional response unit, said a search warrant was executed at the Minjah property on Saturday afternoon and the set-up was found.

“The Minjah man was bailed to appear in the Warrnambool Magistrates Court on January 22 charged with cultivating and possessing cannabis,” he said.

“Four plants, each valued at about $1500, were only about a week off being harvested. It was an extensive and sophisticated set-up ,” he said.
