More Than $300k In Marijuana Found During Lansing Drug Raid

[Zerocool]

LANSING — Police found more than $300,000 worth of marijuana during a Thursday night raid at a Lansing home and adjacent business.

 

Lt. Tim Gill, head of the Tri-County Metro Narcotics Squad, estimated the more than 100 marijuana plants found at the eastside location would be worth about $300,000 because it was grown hydroponically.

 

Officers also found growing equipment, grow rooms and evidence of previous grow operations, he said.

 

The raid occurred somewhere between Frandor Shopping Center and downtown Lansing, Gill said, but he would not say exactly where because the investigation is ongoing.

 

A 39-year-old male suspect has been identifed, but he was released pending further investigation, Gill said.

 

“This was not just your personal consumption type of grow operation,” Gill said. “It’s a pretty substantial operation.”

 

He said the squad typically sees operations with 20 to 40 plants, with 650 being the most the most found in a home grow operation during his time on the metro squad.

 

Each marijuana plant produces one to two pounds of marijuana, which is valued between $1,000 and $3,000. Hydroponically grown marijuana sells at the higher end of the scale, he said.

 

Lansing police assisted with the raid. The squad is continuing its investigation, Gill said.

Wow, the fact they consider this a 'substantial operation,' just goes to show how few ineffective the war on drugs is. There are probably a 1/2 dozen more substantial operations within a square mile of the police station...

2 pounds?...They must have only been using 13gallon cans, and not enough light.

So a patient grow, with its 12 plants, is a public menace as it is pumping out 12 to 24 pounds?

Oh boy! I want that "magic sauce Jack-And-The-Beanstalk" nute recipe.

This is more than likely how they are told to report such things . The Broadcast/Typecast Media is nothing more than Govt. propaganda . "F C C" ! Edited July 15, 2012 by knucklehead bob
