Mackay police have charged two Bucasia men with drug offences after executing a search warrant at Calen yesterday.
Police located a large-scale bush cannabis crop in the mountains of Calen, where the men allegedly were cultivating crops of cannabis on four large areas.
The crop contained more than 8,000 cannabis plants with a street value of $20,222,500.
The land owner was not aware his land was being used to grow cannabis.
Police were currently at the scene dismantling the crops.
The 71-year-old and 37-year-old men who were charged with one count each of producing dangerous drugs, will appear in the Mackay Magistrates Court tomorrow.
