A POLICE check on a possible stolen car in Frankston North led to the recovery of a late-model Mercedes and the discovery of a cannabis crop, Sunday afternoon 11 December.

Sergeant Duncan McGorrery, of Frankston police, said a passer-by had spotted the high-priced ML350 in Laurina Cr and called police, 5.30pm. When they converged on the scene they learned the car’s occupants had walked around the corner to a house on Morton St and were relaxing in the front yard.

The police cordoned off the house and arrested two men and three women, some on outstanding warrants. All were taken to Frankston police station and interviewed.

Inside the house police allege they found a hydroponic cannabis operation with 15 established plants valued at $1000. The occupant, a woman in her 50s, was later arrested and may be charged on summons with cultivation, possession and use of the drug.

Three of the five in the front yard were charged with car theft: A 26-year-old Seaford man was further charged with evading police and other drug matters. He was remanded to appear at court at a later date.

A Seaford woman, 20, appeared at Frankston Magistrates’ Court, Monday, where she was further remanded, and a 27-year-old Dandenong North man was released on bail to appear at court at a later date.
