Police discover underground drug lab at home in Granada Hills
  • last year
Los Angeles Police Department officers on Wednesday reported the discovery of what they called an "elaborate underground illicit drug lab" in Granada Hills. Executing a search warrant on the home resulted in officers locating a litany of evidential items, including eight handguns, two shotguns and four rifles on top of approximately eight pounds of methamphetamine, more than three pounds of cannabis and hash oil, eight liters of gamma hydroxy butyrate, otherwise known as liquid ecstasy, one ounce of heroin, nearly two ounces of fentanyl and alprazolam each, 25 DMT (N-dimethyltryptamine) pills, and 21 strips of suboxone.

Officers conducted the search warrant after receiving an anonymous tip in November, which reported an illegal marijuana cultivation operation at the home, located in the 16500 block of Hiawatha Street. Casey Linder, a 37-year-old resident at the home, was arrested on suspicion of manufacture of controlled substances. His bail is set at $75,000.

"Officers believed that narcotics manufacturing was occurring at the residence," said a police statement. "A search warrant was obtained for the residence, which reveled a Psilocybin (hallucinogenic mushrooms) grow in a backyard shed."
