About Indoor Marihuana Grow Ops
A marihuana home grow operation is a house or other building that has been
modified in order to grow large amounts of marihuana. This marihuana is sold on
the street by criminal organizations.
Sophisticated and significant structural changes are made in order to supply
light, water and ventilation to the plants. These changes may make the house
uninhabitable for any future residents without major repairs.
Home grow operations are found in all types of neighbourhoods. In fact, large
homes are preferred because they provide a large grow capacity.
Many large, sophisticated home grow operations are linked to organized crime
groups and provide financing for various organized criminal activity.
