Marijuana Grow-Op Uncovered in Susquehanna County

Pennsylvania State Police say following up on a traffic stop where they found marijuana led them to a fairly substantial home grow-op in Susquehanna County with over two-dozen plants growing on site and product packaged for market.

Authorities say they stopped 45-year-old Brady Snyder of Union Dale at around 9 p.m. last Wednesday, June 15 and found some pot in his possession in the vehicle.

The discovery of the marijuana prompted troopers to launch an investigation into suspected distribution of marijuana in the region.

A search of Snyder’s home on Bennett Road in Union Dale, in Harrick Township turned up a full functional marijuana grow operation.  Troopers say they confiscated 35 marijuana plants, several packages of marijuana and the packaging material needed for operations intended for distributing weed.
