Police seize 4,000 pot plants in raids of Washington homes

LYNNWOOD -- Investigators say they seized more than 4,000 marijuana plants from homes in King and Snohomish counties during raids last week.

More than 1,100 plants were found in houses in Lynnwood and Everett, and in a related case, about 3,200 plants were seized in two houses in King County.

Detectives think the indoor pot farms were set up and tended by drug traffickers connected to Vietnamese criminal groups.

"These were professional jobs. We're not talking 10 plants in a closest," Lynnwood police Sgt. Jim Nelson, a supervisor with the South Snohomish County Narcotics Task Force, told The Herald newspaper of Everett.

The grow-operations included advanced ventilation systems, and at one home electricity was being stolen to avoid a suspiciously large power bill.

Detectives arrested three people in the raids Thursday, all in Lynnwood. Son Bui, 40, and his girlfriend Tran Luong, 46, set up the operations in Lynnwood and Everett, police say.

The third suspect, Cang Nguyen, 32, told police he was paid about $15,000 every three months to tend marijuana plants at a Lynnwood house, court records said. The group also is believed to be connected to two growing operations in King County, Nelson said.

Emily Langlie, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle, said no decision had been made on whether to bring federal charges.

Full spectrum LEDs would help avoid the charges of stealing electricity... I think the extra money put into that is worth the five years extra you DON'T spend in prison...

Cang Nguyen is going to be shot. That is a lot of cannabis.

Well... All I can say is legalize it and kill the profit margins. Make pot so boring teens will be bored of the idea, and then we can grow for ourselves.

I think the full spectrum LEDs are good enough to no longer be a science experiment.

why is it every bust they get over a few hundred pounds of pot is always linked to some criminal organization. if it were a criminal organization planning all this shit you most likely wouldnt find it, and if you did, you wouldnt live to tell about it. and cmon now, the vietnamese? lmfao, that shit grows wild down there doesnt it? why would they need to grow it here?

im about to grow a full house full of marijuana myself just to see what terrorist organization they link me to.

Dr :ronpaul: says to stop trying to treat the side-effects of big government and focus on the core issues. End the Federal Reserve/audit the gold reserves at Fort Knox, abolish the IRS, end all wars and occupancies, stop the building of an empire that will inevitably fail, and cut all unconstitutional federal programs. Put the power back in the peoples' hands by ending this nanny-state.

yeah that happened here too,some vietnamese growers were paying the renter to grow in his house and i think they were stealing the electricity

they also had a couple of kids 'meters away from the deadly fumes these plants put out into the atmosphere'

they lost their freedom and their kids because they didnt want to pay the power bills

i suspect the couple growing pretended that they were being forced to grow by a vietnamese gang to make it look like they were really the victims

i need names and addresses of narc members

pm for details
