Proper exciting!!

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.

They will be thinking Ello ello ello.... this geeza seems a little bit interesting in this stuff....

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

don't think they have if i'm honest. will be a small loss for a bigger operation i think.

it has been watched by the police for a number of weeks, helicopter was over last week with heat cameras, various drive bys by the police and reported by numerous people.

Aye the chopper will be how they caught them for sure or at least confirmed the extraordinary amount of heat in the house. They'll have bypassed the electricity meter as well so will have checked on it with the leccy company.

i always remember going into a house fire with a new lad. we got into the loft space and he said "what idiot decides to grow plants in his loft? must be a pain in the ass to water them."

were not many in the loft apparently, most were in the garage which is integral to the house..

Presume they rented the house, payed a year up front and then just make it into a factory. One guy mans the whole thing and is often locked in.

It wrecks the property too. So much humidity that everything is wet and rotting.

exactly! I had a nose round the garage, in among 4ft plants was a sub distribution board of electrics, UV lighting and a ventilation system that goes to the loft and is filtered and vented out of the roof. Really impressive setup!! But the house will be ruined, you are right! Serves the owner right for renting out cash in hand, this is gonna cost her thousands to fix, the electric board have just dug up the path and cut the electrics off!

But who tipped the police off in the first place?

 

[Tashyboy]

A pal of mine when I worked at the pit, his neighbour was growing it. He was to scared to say owt to the guy as his pet dog was bigger than a pony. Rang the rozzers and they were not interested. Until a couple of months later when they caved the front door in, they had Been watching the place for some time.
Bro in law had The same happen to him. Basically went next door and said get rid of the spliff or al drag the police here myself. He did.

All finished, they reckon about £100k worth of gear confiscated.

One of the houses in our small close (only 8 of us in total) was rented out to a family for a year or two. They did seem a little dodgy - I had multiple court letters sent to the dad but with my address on the envelope, and always had a suspicion the eldest son was dealing something. Anyways, they did a moonlight flit, leaving a large portion of rent unpaid etc. After they had gone, the agent came into check the property and all the upstairs rooms had large holes in the floors, lots of rotting timber and damp etc. It was a wonder that anyone could live upstairs at all, let alone 6 of them and a toddler....maybe that's why they had two beds in the garage?

Never thought much about it before reading this thread, the current owner bought it at a bargain price but had to spend an extra £100K to make it liveable.

I've vaguely heard of that one but I think bypassing your own meter is the more common option.
