Police bust drug empire in Suffolk -

Three Suffolk County residents have been "living large" off the profits of a hydroponic marijuana harvesting ring that operated out of five warehouses, producing more more than 1,800 pot plants and $5 million ...

wow its a shame the government still keeps this BS marijuana slam campaign. Really dangerous criminals growing a plant. OOOOO the world trembles at these people.

[IT FIGURES]

Sure a North Babylon fireman was arrested on possession of guns and marijuana. This does not surprise me since they all do not have a life.

[Fedup]

The arrests were the culmination of a probe by local and federal authorities stretching back about eight years""

Thatsa one long p-r-o-b-e. They couldn't close the case sooner than a near decade? I'll bet the 'expenses' of the investigation were more than the crop's street value. A lucrative business, growing the stuff and stopping the growing.

[so what]

So what, next story.

[Swiss]

Caught!

[wiw]

Three people growing pot is an "empire"?

newsday never fails to amaze. Just when you think their headlines cannot get any worse .....

Reread the article. FORMER NORTH BABYLON FIRE CHIEFS SON WAS ARRESTED. The former chief was not arrested and the guns in his home were all legal hunting rifles, there was no pot at his home. These are nice people.

[OMG]

THIS IS WORSE THAN THE STORY OF THEM INFORMING US THAT MEXICANS ARE GROWING POT IN OUR STATE PARKS SO FOR US AMERICANS TO BE CAREFUL WHILE HANGING OUT WITH OUR FAMILIES THEIR LOL

The man was just being creative in finding ways to pay Long Islnd's High Real Estate Taxes. A little gardening for fun & profit !

Took Barney Fife and his pals 8 years to finally shut them down. Man that must be a new world record on foot dragging!

[mike bossy]

life in prison?

[micky]

This is more about making money for the government than anything else. These bastards will now sieze everything these people have right down to birthday presents, claiming everything they have was bought with "drug" money.
Wow, I sure feel safer these people are off the street.......What a friggin joke.

[farmer todd]

Guess pot dealers don't make enough money to pay off the right people.

[lol]

So does this mean we won the war?

[What do ya Expect]

The SLOW COPS !!!! They will only crack a case if the case cracks it self first... And someone complains and complains... WHERE DO I GIT MY WEES NOW !!!

[jane1]

Give me a break....go catch some terrorist.
I've never touched pot and have zero interest, but, like Jesse Ventura, I belive it simply should be legalized. They make these guys out to be like heroin dealers or something.

Too bad thee last names aren't Lohan, Richie or paris...if it was they would get a fine and slap on the wrist.
