WEST COVINA >> Realtors visiting a for-sale home in West Covina stumbled upon a large indoor marijuana growing operation Saturday, officials said.
The illicit garden was found about 1:30 p.m., concealed within a home in the 2400 block of Felicia Street, just southwest of Amar Road and Nogales Street, West Covina police Lt. Dennis Patton said.
“The home is apparently up for sale,” the lieutenant said. Realtors who stopped by the home notified police of the pot plants growing inside.
Police were awaiting a warrant before carrying out a search of the home, however it initially appeared that marijuana was being grown in every room, Patton said. The home, which Patton described as “an exceptionally large marijuana grow,” was outfitted with extensive lighting and irrigation equipment.
No arrests had been made Saturday afternoon, and police were still looking into the home’s ownership.
