Man charged with trafficking after $500k hydroponic haul uncovered

A southern Tasmanian man has been charged with drug trafficking after police uncovered a sophisticated hydroponic cannabis operation.

Police have seized more than 8 kilograms of cannabis buds, 25 mature plants and 47 small cannabis plants with an estimated value of $520,000.

Officers conducted a series of raids in the northern Hobart suburb of Glenorchy.

It is alleged they found the hydroponic set-ups at two properties owned by a 41-year-old Glenorchy man.

He has been charged with trafficking in a controlled substance.

The man has been bailed to appear in court next month.
