vidTO: Jane St. Illegal Grow-op Bust

Posted by Jerrold Litwinenko / November 26, 2006

Interesting videos continue to pop up in the blogTO YouTube Group. Here's the latest....

This clip is purported to be a police video tour of a busted marijuana growing operation at Jane and Sheppard. Last week, raids at 2600 Jane St. led to arrest warrants being issued for some 15 people, including the building superintendent. Reports state that at many as 22 apartment units in the 13-storey high-rise contained plants, in total valued at over $6million.

The video shows plenty of plants at various growth stages, and an insane amount of what looks like very dangerous ad-hoc electrical wiring and ventilation system.

Thanks Dave. I found the <a href="http://www.torontopolice.on.ca/newsreleases/pdfs/11034.pdf";>press release</a> that links to the video.

I missed it in my search because they spelled it "marihuana" (they spell it "marijuana" in the previous press release they put out on this bust).

They should be busted for dangerous wiring and possibly water damage but lets stop the prohibition on pot.
