No snow leads to cannabis bust

[n2doc]

POLICE busted a "significant" cannabis factory because its grow lights melted all the SNOW on its roof.
Officers responding to reports of suspicious behaviour said the house was the only one not thickly blanketed after last week's snowfall.

On Thursday they raided the house in Aylestone, Leicester, and found more than 300 cannabis plants.

Police said the hi-tech growing systems gave off a lot of heat and melted the snow on the roof.

Pc Chris Gerrard said the house had been badly damaged by work to set up the cannabis factory.

He said: "The landlord has been left with a lot of clearing up to do.

2. Damned global warming

Ah well, if it means more hippies get busted, so much the better. :sarcasm:

3. Bad insulating job. There's no excuse for letting that much heat escape through your roof!

Good weatherization would have kept the snow on the roof. And saved energy too! (Not to mention, all those beautiful pot plants :( )

Let this be a lesson to homeowners and pot growers everywhere -- insulate your ceilings!

4. and use LED lighting

Sodium Vapor lamps are cheap in the short run but the power consumption will be detected.
