EXCLUSIVE: Firemen uncover £1m cannabis factory in flat
By David Taylor
4 June 2006
STUNNED firefighters called to a blaze in a rundown flat discovered a £1 million-a-year drugs factory.
They found two houses knocked into one and every available inch crammed with cannabis plants.
Two kitchens, four bedrooms, four public rooms and entrance halls were all taken up with the drug.
The electricity supply had even been re-routed from the mains to power the factory in Fulbar Lane, Renfrew.
Firefighters said the blaze, sparked by a light, was confined to one room and quickly brought under control.
Dozens of high-powered lamps and other cultivating equipment were found as well as large compost grow-bags.
Electric fans had been set up to suck the strong smell of the drug through the loft window and all the walls were covered in tin foil as a crude insulator.
Police and ScottishPower were last night investigating the "industrial levels" of electricity used to run the factory.
A Scottish Power spokesman said: "We are investigating an issue with the meter, which it is understood was bypassed and the mains supply tampered with.
"Obviously this is highly dangerous."
A Strathclyde Police spokesman said: "Officers were called to the house where they found evidence of drug misuse.
"The house was empty at the time and police enquiries are ongoing."
Harvests
The 10 rooms were each stuffed with around 150 plants, worth around £250,000.
A farm on that scale can produce four harvests every year, bringing a total value of £1 million.
Both flats are listed on the Land Registry as belonging to Simon Kim Ming Tsui. He bought the upper and lower halves of the property for a total of £90,000 in 2003.
At the time, he lived in nearby Wilson Street.
The Sunday Mail understands the occupant listed at Fulbar Lane on the last voter's roll ??" Andy Cheung - is now resident there.
Some foreign magazines were found in the drug factory house.
Locals claimed last night they had no idea who owned the house, and said that no one had been spotted leaving or entering it for weeks.

> cannabis factory
Whatever happened to gardens? Oh, I know... factories sound a lot more fearsome in the drug war than gardens. Typical media...

one branch of man turns away what has made us who we are, the other,excepts it for how its made man. which path do you choose?
-------------------------------------
Man takes advantage of who he is,nature is his home, where he evolved from. So why does he turn it down, defy, and mutalate his birth ground? why does he spread disease, murder his native animals,rape and torture his land, and still feel descent of who he is? live a life that is not true? excepts an artificial home?

when you're growing pot for profit you make more money off of 150 plants then you would with 10.

To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . .

i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug*

So if I have a few apple trees in my backyard, then I have an apple orchard, but if I have a few hundred apple trees in my backyard, then I have an apple factory? Sorry, I still don't get it.

Or you can also consider it an "Apple laboratory" if you will.
