FREEPORT, Bahamas -- Just two weeks after a $16.8 million discovery in Grand Bahama, police in The Bahamas uncovered another cultivated marijuana field in the same area on Thursday, when officers of the Drug Enforcement Unit, along with US counterparts acting on information, went to another undeveloped area in East Grand Bahama.

Upon arrival at the location, they discovered a number of marijuana plants ranging between one and five feet in height.

Police confirmed that the plots contained approximately 75,000 plants, with a street value of $7.5 million.
