An investigation into several break-ins in the Rainy River district resulted in OPP discovering a hydroponics grow operation.

Police say their probe into the break-ins led them to a home in Rainy River where they discovered several stolen items and 212 marijuana plants.

Police estimate the street value of the marijuana at over $212 thousand.

27-year-old John Kirkrude will appear in court in September on drug and break and enter charges.
