FURNACE HEISTS FUEL POT GROWERS
A growing number of illegal drug operations in Calgary are using
furnaces stolen from homes under construction, police say. Most of the
stolen furnaces are being installed in homes being renovated, but
police believe a percentage of them are finding their way into the
city's burgeoning home-based drug industry. Marijuana grow ops are
using the furnaces as a source of additional heat to stimulate plant
production.
