CITY HALL TURNS UP HEAT ON MARIJUANA GROWERS
SURREY - City hall is intensifying its hunt for marijuana growing
operations.
Council has approved more than doubling a five-member team of
electrical and fire inspectors that, escorted by police, has been at
work for about a year checking homes with high electrical bills. Six
more inspectors will be added..
Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis reported the "vast majority" of 353 homes
inspected have showed signs of being used as growing operations.
The team concerns itself only with safety violations and does not
carry out criminal investigations, eliminating the need to obtain
search warrants to enter the premises.
