Tasmania Police have seized cannabis plants with an estimated street value of $200,000 from a rural property in Kellevie, north of Copping.
More than 190 plants were allegedly discovered on Friday by officers from the Criminal Investigation Branch, the Drugs and Firearms Unit and local stations.
During the search, police also seized two pistols, one of which was a replica.
Detective Acting Inspector Richard Penney confirmed that two men were arrested and now face charges.
A 53-year-old man will appear in the Hobart Magistrates Court at a later date.
A 31-year-old man remains in custody and will face a magistrate tomorrow.
“This is another example of police proactively seeking out those in our community who continue to flout our laws,” Penney said.
“Tasmania Police remains committed to ensuring those who deal in illicit drugs and firearms are brought to justice.”
