York police bust large ecstasy lab in Markham
December 18, 2007 - toronto.ctv.ca
York region police say they have busted a sophisticated ecstasy drug lab that was capable of pumping out 10,000 pills an hour.
Officers executed the search warrant at an industrial building at 151 Bentley St., near Warden Avenue and Highway 7, in Markham.
Police discovered four pill presses, ecstasy powder and liquid chemicals. Hazardous materials teams were called in because of the dangerous substances found.
The operation was a "ticking time bomb," said drug squad Det. Dieter Boeheim.
"It's a public safety factor. These places contain volatile material chemicals. All sorts of things can go wrong -- fire, explosions," Boeheim said.
Police said they were alerted to the multimillion-dollar drug lab after the owner of the building went inside to evict the unit's tenant, who hadn't paid the rent in months.
Residents who worked in the area said they were stunned to learn of the bust.
"It's a little bit scary because you never know with someone like that, there could be guns and violence and stuff," said one woman.
"It's shocking, to say the least," said one man.
No arrests were made in Tuesday's bust. Police said the operation could have ties to an international drug cartel in Asia.
York police have now dismantled six drug labs this year. The force has also busted 105 marijuana grow-ops in 2007.

I wonder why they stopped paying rent. And if it had been abandon or forgotten...

If your running a multi million dollar ecstasy lab im pretty sure you can pay rent.
And it was most likely not a ticking time bomb, if your running a lab like this your not going to let it catch on fire =-o

Yeah, probably abandoned. They didn't put a figure on the ecstasy powder, so they're probably talking just some left over dust, not any large amount.
It would be hard to move all that stuff and they couldn't sell it, so that was probably the best way to get rid of it. As long as they didn't leave anything that could trace them to the chemists.
And how would they know that they may have ties with Asia if they don't know who was there? Assume the chemicals came from Asia, so that automatically means that Asians work the place?
Good news though, real ecstasy, not meth in those pills.

I hate this. That's like on the anti-drug websites where they have quotes from children on what they think the effects of marijuana and other drugs are, rather than the actual scientifically proven effects.

Also, capable of? My ass!
I doubt they would ever run it at that capacity, and when they did run it, they wouldn't be running it steadily.

Yeah 10 000 pills an hour x 24 hours a day x 365.25 days a year = 87.66 million pills a year... in canada + usa there is like 500million people
say 3% of them do xtc which is like way more than the amount that actually do that leaves like 15 million people so at a extremely generous rate of xtc users there would be like 6 caps for each of them yearly... and this was coming out of a single apartment? lol

Not an apartment. It was a commercial building. They had four pill presses. These are big machines. Some won't even fit through an ordinary apartment door.
Most likely they spent a few months there making the goods, then abandoned the lab.

I'm pretty sure that was deliberate.

I love it how the fire experts or whatever say its a "ticking time bomb" when the sophisticated chemists who know exactly what they're doing have it all under control and are using proper safety precautions...

That article is full of shit.
the figure of 10,000 an hour is fucking ridiculous.
People scared of the "horrors of drugs" love slurping up this hideous defecation of lies.

10,000 pills an hour isn't that much, check out the capabilities of rotary pill presses. Often times criminals give the cops a bust so that they'll look the other way on other things. Crooked are the ways of the underworld

Instead of using the constraint to estimate (amount of mdma produced) they use the opposite, the widest step in the process (pressing)

What these people are trying to do is make it seem like the police are making progress on catching people that make drugs. One of the ways they do that is by streaching the truth. There is no way the people caught ran that lab to it's full potential.
