Caught with 2000 plants worth $5m
MARIJUANA, estimated by police to be worth about $5 million, was allegedly discovered in a raid targeting 2020 plants growing in Bucca.
Errol John Dionysius, 55, appeared in Bundaberg Magistrates Court yesterday charged with possessing and producing dangerous drugs after being arrested on Tuesday afternoon.
Bundaberg Police say a two-month surveillance operation uncovered the crop at a property near Dionysius' home on Smiths Crossing Road.
Dionysius applied for bail, but was denied, after Magistrate Jennifer Batts said he was a risk of committing further offences if released.
He was remanded in custody to appear in court again on August 28.
