Hi everyone, thank you so much for your patience during this series.

You might have seen that there are now three parts.

It was not my intention, but this is a very complex and highly nuanced story, and despite

my best efforts to edit the script down, it's just not one of those cases that can be summarized

without losing important context.

Part two blew out to be more than two hours, and the file had to be split up.

But everything is ready for you to listen to right now.

Now if you already listened to the first part, today's episode starts with a recap to

bring you up to speed.

But if you've waited to listen to the whole thing together and want to get straight into

the story, feel free to fast forward about three and a half minutes.

Thanks again for your patience, and with that, it's on with the show, and buckle up because

it's a ride.

Two bay lifts showed up at the fenced compound of 46-year-old James Roscoe to repossess his

He was openly hostile giving them the finger before driving off his property.

The RCMP were called for backup, and they discovered what appeared to be an illegal cannabis

grow-up and chop-shop operation in the large quonset hut on the property.

A completely separate issue to the missed truck payments.

The RCMP accessed James Roscoe's criminal record, which they used to apply for a new search

warrant and conductor risk assessment.
