Two people were arrested after Los Angeles police uncovered a marijuana-growing operation in a Chatsworth warehouse, where about 1,000 plants were growing, authorities said today.
A patrol unit stopped a white pickup truck with temporary plates in the 9900 block of Canoga Avenue about 10:45 p.m. Wednesday, said LAPD Officer April Harding. When officers approached the truck, they smelled the strong odor of marijuana and found plants, Harding said, and arrested a man and woman who were inside the vehicle.
LAPD officers traced the plants back to an industrial warehouse on the same block, where the smell of marijuana was escaping from a vent on the roof. When officers went inside, they discovered 1,000 plants and a hydroponic lab, Harding said.
About 100,000 kilowatts of unbilled electricity was being used in the warehouse, she said. The LAPD was continuing its investigation this morning.
