GARDAÍ have this week smashed a massive drugs operation in Carlow town. Up to eight gardaí from the local drugs squad raided a house on the Old Burrin Road last Monday night following a huge surveillance operation. One Chinese national was arrested after gardaí, working from intelligence they recovered over a month-long investigation, discovered a “sophisticated cannabis-growing factory” in the house. Upon entry into the house, gardaí discovered dozens of cannabis plants worth up to .40,000 along with an extensive collection of cultivation paraphernalia. The arrested man was in the house on his own when gardaí burst into the premises and he was arrested under section two of the Drug Trafficking Act. He is currently being held in Carlow Garda Station and it is expected that he will appear in court today (Wednesday).
After arresting the suspect, gardai dismantled the cannabis cultivation factory on the premises and moved it to Carlow Garda Station where they are examining the evidence.
“Our investigations led us to believe that cannabis was being cultivated in Carlow,” said Sgt John Foley of Carlow Garda Station, speaking about the successful operation. “We found a sophisticated cannabis-growing factory in the house and we estimate it is worth around .40,000.”
Sgt Foley said that the drug squad had been involved in on-going enquiries which led them to the Old Burrin Road premises and, following surveillance on the house, they initiated Monday’s raid.

When I lived in England years and years ago, I heard a story of something similar to this.

A fella was growing skunk plants in his attic with all the heat lamps and all the rest of the paraphernalia. They caught him because there had been a heavy fall of snow in the area and his was the only house in the estate with no snow on the roof. The heat of the lamps meant the snow wouldn't lodge.
