Two people will be serving jail terms for their involvement in a marijuana grow-op at a home in Ottawa's west end.

Police say the grow-op was discovered in April 2007 when police executed a search warrant at 64 Yoho Drive in Kanata, uncovering $800,000 in cultivated marijuana.

Huyen Thi Dang and Trang Nguyen, a Toronto resident who owns the home, were convicted on numerous drug-related offences in December 2008.

Last week, police say Dang and Nguyen were sentenced to 12 and nine months in jail for their roles in the operation.

Police say the case sets a precedent because it involves the conviction of a nominee homeowner.
