IF YOU GROW IT, THEY WILL COME
Given the cost of a square foot of Manhattan real estate, one wouldn't think that using an apartment to raise commercial crops would be feasible. When the "IT" in the title is a 'Field of Weeds', however, things have a way of becoming feasible in a hurry. And although this Upper Manhattan resident probably would have loved to see a line of headlights snaking towards his front door in the New York night, the "THEY" dropping by last night were DEA agents.
Drug Enforcement agents raided a Washington Heights apartment building on Tuesday and found a virtual "forest" of marijuana plants being grown on one floor of the building.
News Channel 4's Jonathan Dienst first reported the seizure where agents were seen removing more than 700 plants from the site.
The raid happened around 10:30 p.m. at a building at West 154th Street and Amsterdam Avenue after investigators were tipped off about the facility.
Somebody is seriously bummed right now.
