MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J.
Cops sniffed out $10 million worth of marijuana plants, the largest pot-growing bust in New Jersey history, state police said Wednesday.
Officers detected the smell of marijuana wafting from the chimney of a Monroe Township home last month and found a man inside burning unusable parts of pot plants in the fireplace, police said.
A search of the home turned up more than 1,000 pot plants.
That discovery led authorities to five more houses in Millstone Township, Old Bridge, Manahawkin and Manalapan. More than 3,300 plants, 115 pounds of harvest pot and $65,000 cash were seized there, they said.
Thu N. Nguyen, 44, a Canadian citizen who was being held in the county jail on $1 million cash bail, was charged with maintaining a marijuana cultivation facility and possession with intent to distribute.
Two others - Tuan A. Dang, 35, of Port Monmouth, and Ngoc H. Bui, 35, of Old Bridge, both naturalized U.S. citizens - were arrested after authorities searched the Millstone residence. They face the same charges and bail amount as Nguyen
