British Columbia Police: Bears Scattered Across Pot Fields


Christina Lake, British Columbia – Police who uncovered two marijuana fields near the US-Canada territories have to be very careful: 13 black bears are scattered across the crops.

2,300 plants were found near Christina Lake just a few miles away from the border.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said that when police arrived at the location two weeks ago, they found the bears and plan on taking action to capture them.

He said that these bears were docile and were already used to human presence. They should easily be captured because of this.

The two owners of the marijuana fields were arrested and charged with production and possession of a controlled substance.

The police are still investigating whether they used the bears to guard the fields or just had them as pets.
