POT GROWING NOW A SUBURBAN PASTIME
LA TIMES - Diamond Bar Mayor Steve Tye never noticed anything unusual
about the upscale, three-bedroom suburban home a block from his house.
That is until Wednesday, when Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies
burst in and found the entire house had been converted into a massive
indoor marijuana farm, complete with elaborate irrigation system and
overhead lights on timers that were hooked up illegally to bypass meter
readings.
It's the second time in just over a week a house turned pot farm has
been discovered in Diamond Bar, a wealthy suburb of 58,000 in the
eastern San Gabriel Valley. Two more marijuana-cultivating homes were
found in a neighboring city this month. . . In Diamond Bar alone,
authorities have hauled away what authorities estimate to be more than
$22 million in pot plants. . .
Authorities in neighboring Chino Hills have found about $6 million in
pot plants in recent weeks, including at one house raided Wednesday. Two
weeks ago, police seized 1,300 plants from a six-bedroom house in Chino
Hills, said Jodi Miller, spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County
Sheriff's Department.
