Proper exciting!!

[Rooter]

Anyone that follows me on twitter will have seen a few weeks ago there was suspicion that next door was a cannabis factory..

Sat at my desk, i hear bang bang bang, go out and the police are battering the door in, about 8 of them storm in. Chinese lad gets escorted out and copper tells me the house is full of weed plants! I live in a very quite and quite posh cul de sac! Proper exciting!! Like watching TV, only out of my window!

Did you get a good discount?

It always amazes me how close we are to the seedier side of society. I rented a house to a guy in '98, which he subsequently bought from me. Two weeks after the final signing the Police raided it. He was a big drug dealer. A really nice guy but leading a double life

Many moons ago a mate used to grow some cannabis for personal use... His neighbours [a lovely elderly couple] were always commenting what a strong 'aroma' those plants gave off... We always wondered if the penny ever dropped or if they actually knew the truth from day one..

wow, they even cut a hole in the ceiling to access the garage! 3 out of the 4 bedrooms full, garage and loft. Estimate it to be 60 grands worth!!!

Waste of Police time.....

Exactly.......should have had the army in with flame throwers to torch the whole house with the cultivator still inside.

I'm sure the police will "take it away to a secret location to burn it". I always wonder when I hear that if they stop at the all night garage on the way to pick up some king size rizlas and a big box of munchies.

detached, but my dad commented last week about how often their boiler was kicking in when he was doing a job in my garden!

Boiler? Surly heat is a problem in that environment. As I understand it they are looking to expel hot air.

no, ambient temp needs to be warm for them to grow. Hence this morning, no frost on their roof again...

Frost on the roof - do you live on a caravan park?? :smirk:

As I understand it as from watching TV shows is that the lights make HUGE heat but the plants want clean air. No way are they heating anything with a boiler, it will be like an oven in there. The usual ways these people get caught are the electric company see HUGE bills or the police helicopters note there is no ice on the roof and call the electric company.

Legalese it, tax the hell out of it so that at least the money is not going into crime. IMO.

No idea, just spoke to the coppers again, they are waiting for the electric company to come and isolate the house, wires everywhere apparently. I actually have a headache from the fumes coming out of there now they have opened it up. Plants are about 4ft high and about ready to be harvested.

Hopefully they've gathered up the folk running the gig and not just the poor perisher minding the place..
