Deputies busted two large-scale illegal marijuana growing operations in Lacey and Shelton this week. FOX13

The grow operations produce a large amount of marijuana, authorities say, which is shipped to the East Coast and sold at a higher price—which funds further criminal activity in the U.S.

The sheriff’s office says homes in residential neighborhoods are converted into labs, in which an upwards of 75% of the rooms are turned into grow rooms. Criminals knock down walls, put up new walls, add ventilation and filtration to mask the odor of the grow operations, authorities say. They run exposed electrical lines through each room of the house, which wire back to overloaded breaker boxes, while water and chemicals are stored right nearby.

The sheriff’s office says large amounts of chemicals are dumped into septic systems, waterways or wetlands, which produces mold in the house that is then ventilated back outside.

Any similar cases that involve John Doe's that received the same dismissals? The woman who was harassing Jackie Lacey is a perpetual victim signaler—like really, YOU are traumatized after you showed up at a woman‘s house at 3 am with a mob? Also when she had to be forcibly removed from the mayoral debate it was all “ouch you’re hurting me!” 🙄🙄🙄 Blm is a terrorist organization
