POLICE dogs searching for an axe-wielding man who attacked a speed camera operator have instead unearthed a drug crop.
The camera operator, 40, was sitting in the front passenger seat of his car in Wedge Rd, Carrum Downs, when the driver's side window was smashed by a man with an axe about 10.35pm last night.
The operator escaped with only a cut finger, while the offender fled.
The police canine unit was called in an attempt to locate him.
But as the search began, the police dogs were thrown off scent by a cannabis hydroponic set-up at a nearby house.
Police then searched the Spencer Drive house, and uncovered the stash in a rear room and the garage.
