Underground bunker nets 1,900 pot
plants
November 4, 2010 - bclocalnews.com
Langley RCMP’s drug section found a underground grow-op dug so deep an
electric lift had been installed to access the thousands of pot plants.
On Wednesday, Langley RCMP drug section executed a warrant at a
property in the 1900 block of 240 Street that was stealing electricity.
The officers didn’t immediately locate any marijuana but eventually
were able to follow the stolen electricity to a small chicken coop on
the property.
Within the coop, officers discovered a hatch in the floor with access
to an underground three-room bunker 10 feet below.
In order to make it easier to lower both equipment and people into the
bunker, an electric lift had been installed.
To make sure all the officers were safe, an excavator was used to dig a
hole in the side wall of the bunker to create proper ventilation.
More than 1,900 plants were seized from the bunker.
No arrests were made at the scene. Electricity has been cut to
the property and a ‘Do Not Occupy’ sign was placed on the residence.

Officer Marks said it was a sophisticated grow. For once, the police got that right! Too bad it got busted. I hate seeing all those plants get ripped up.

Beautiful Grow. As good as textbook! =).
Too bad none of us got to smoke any of it 
What if they had decided to pay for the electricity!
The reflectors were OK considering there were plants everywhere, they were grown in soil, good soil based on the looks of the plants , decent strain, healthy and secure location.
I'm not sure how they were able to leave it unattended, I couldn't figure out the irrigation system and drainage used.
Can't wait for pot to be legal. Too bad prop 19 didn't pass. Guess we will have to wait 2 more years for another chance at legal pot.
It is like the video guy was like, hmmm... How am I gonna set up my next grow! The video is good enough for a 'growers bible'.
Sucks that the poor plants were ripped up.

^ It is interesting to see people discuss how good the grow looks. People were complaining that mass grows like this would be set up if prop 19 passed, thereby lowering the quality of weed.

That grow looks very sophisticated, very good job done by the growers. I love the part about how they have made no arrests and no contact with the owners. I wonder how thats going to go? Hope these guys hear about the bust before they return to the property, which is probably under surveillance at this point. Here's hoping they get away and dont face any charges!

I'm not sure what the laws are in Canada, but if you are drawing over 200 kwhs a day to a residence, people are going to notice. Sometimes you have to steal electricity to not get busted.

Exactly. I bet those growers wouldn't have had any problem paying for their electricity but for obvious reasons that would have been a very bad idea. Electricity isn't always stolen out of greed, it's stolen out of necessity of not getting busted.
