A policeman examines one of the dagga plants found in a Table View garage. The garage had been converted into a "hothouse", police said.
Police have confiscated dagga plants with an estimated street value of R400 000 from the garage of a Table View house.
Spokesman FC Van Wyk said a tip-off led police to the garage of a private residence at about 8pm on Friday. The garage, he said, had been converted into a “hothouse” for the growing of dagga plants.
A total of 413 plants were confiscated, Van Wyk said.
Police also removed two air conditioners, lights, 12 transformers, five humidifiers and 13 coco peat blocks, which can be used for hydroponic plant growth.
Seven people were arrested and were due to appear in the Cape Town Magistrate’s Court on Monday.
The suspects are aged between 20 and 49, Van Wyk said.
He said the seven had been charged with illegal possession and dealing in cannabis.
