Less weed for the locals as a result of police raid. Someone will fill the gap – it’s all about supply and demand.

By Staff

BURLINGTON, ON.  May 23, 2013.  They grow this stuff because people buy this stuff.  Who is doing the buying?

Early this morning  police, using a Controlled Drugs and Substances Act search warrant raided a home at 940 Glen View Avenue, Burlington.

Found: 34 Cannabis Marihuana Plants in various stages of growth and 30 grams of dried Cannabis Marihuana. Also found: 12 firearms and ammunition that was stored in an unsafe manner.

Police have arrested and charged the following persons:

Christopher Kyle SILVERTHORNE,  39 years of age:

1) Production of a Controlled Substance

2) Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking a Controlled Substance.

3) Careless Storage of Ammunition

Zorica  KRASULJA, 34 years of age :                        

1) Production of a Controlled Substance

2) Possession for the Purpose of Trafficking a Controlled Substance.

3) Careless Storage of Ammunition

SILVERTHORNE was released on a Promise to Appear in Milton Court on June 18th 2013.

KRASULJA was released on a Promise to Appear in Milton Court on June 18th 2013.

What is both surprising and disturbing is accused people being released on their own recognizance – no bail or surety required, with criminal code charges that involve 12 weapons.  We aren’t talking about BB guns here.  Wrong message being sent here

Anyone with information in relation to these or any other crimes is asked to contact the Integrated Drug, Gun and Gang Unit at 905-825-4747- ext 8732, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477), through the web at www.haltoncrimestoppers.com or by texting “tip201” with your message to 274637(crimes).

    agreed, this is shameful business on the part of the halton police, they should be going after real criminals instead of ruining innocent lives

  • Bill

    What non sense this website puts out, everyone smokes weed. The guy was growing a small amount, not near enough to deal! Improper storage is not that big a deal, it probable means he was a legal gun owner and had ammunition stored with the guns. Bid deal, are there no real crimes going on in Burlington!!!!???
