Those same type indoor grow-ops are now magically appearing all over the western half of the Inland Valley. The Diamond Bar Neighborhood Watch is one among many neighborhoods that have revived its crime-watch program after police raided several local homes in our region.
A sophisticated cultivation system was installed in this local Inland Valley home that included 70 1000-watt sun lamps, 70 power box converters, 12 industrial sized air purifiers, 35 wall fans, and over 200 gallons of liquid fertilizer. Installed throughout the entire house was a drip irrigation and water recycling system
Keep a Watchful Eye
Neighbors keep a watchful eye out for suspicious activity that could indicate that other grow operations are hidden behind closed doors in a home near you. According to Los Angeles County sheriff Lt. Jim Whitten here are some signs to watch for:
- Windows are always shut.
- Unkempt yards.
- Lack of activity inside and outside.
- Mail or newspapers piling up outside.
- New owners immediately begin heavy construction inside.
- Owners move in several items, but there is a noticeable absence of clothing or furniture.
- A three- or four-bedroom house has only one or two people seen there during the week.
- The presence of a strong smell similar to skunk odor.
