Two people have been charged after large quantities of cannabis plants were seized outside of Coonabarabran over the weekend. 

About 5:45 pm on Saturday, 16 March 2024, police attended a property on the Oxley Highway, Rocky Glen, about 34km north-east of Coonabarabran following reports of the alleged cultivation of cannabis. 

During a search of the property, police located a large quantity of cannabis leaf, and over 1700 cannabis plants.

Two years earlier, a different Coonabarabran property was the location of the seizure of a record-breaking amount of cannabis, with a potential street value of nearly $67 million. (Supplied)
