NZ man charged with $1m cannabis crop

Australian police have arrested a New Zealand man at Ingleburn in Sydney's southwest after discovering an indoors cannabis plantation valued at up to A$1 million ($1.066 million).

New South Wales police said that officers from Macquarie Fields searched a house at 8.30am on Saturday, and found a sophisticated hydroponic set up in most of the rooms, and 351 cannabis plants.

"The plants have an estimated street value of up to A$1 million," they said.

The 33-year-old has been charged with cultivating and possessing a commercial quantity of prohibited plants, and will appear in Liverpool Local Court today.

Police said investigators were continuing their inquiries into the drugs seizure.
